Enable multiple home folders on different disks
Authored by: ega on Feb 18, '05 05:51:04PM

This would be great but I can not get it to work.
If I set /Volumes/FOO as my 1st home and then /Users/foo as my second home then if my keydrive named FOO (yes it is case sensitive) is not already mounted /Volumes/FOO gets created and next time my keydrive is mounted as /Volumes/FOO\ 1.
Am I missing something?

This is what happened to me as well
I now have a new user dir under Volumes even though nothing is mounted.

Also, just an FYI, in case anybody doesn't realize, when messing around with user accounts, make sure you have an alternate admin login just in case you break something.

To make this work you would need to set the alternate home directory while the external drive is mounted. Otherwise a directory will be created under /Volumes with the same name.

I'm not at my machine to test it now, but that seems to be what is going on.
