Home folder issue

[DJ_TLG]

Hello everyone,

In my system i have a dataset called home that is used to store the home folder of all the users. Under the CIFS share settings if i chose use as a home share option i got two folders appear. One is the username of the user and the other is the homes folder. It appear both are the same folder so if i do any change in users username folder it also changes in homes folder and vice versa. I would like to get rid of the homes folder and just keep username folder as a share.

What am I doing wrong. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Try unchecking the "browsable to network clients" box for the share you configured as your home share. See last sentence here: https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html#HOMESECT

The browseable flag for auto home directories will be inherited from the global browseable flag, not the [homes] browseable flag. This is useful as it means setting browseable = no in the [homes] section will hide the [homes] share but make any auto home directories visible.
