Lost user directory

Oops, that was indeed enable vs disable. I though you were asking how to go into console mode.

Hi,

Again the same happened. After login I saw the message

Quote:

automountd[337]: server localhost not responding
No directory! Logging in with home=/

Now I am running the snv_134 version (development)

So this is precisely what I was suspecting: an automounting issue.

Can you post the output of these commands:

Code:

grep localhost /etc/auto_home /etc/hosts
svcs -xv

Output for the grep command

Code:

/etc/auto_home:piotr localhost:/export/home/&
/etc/hosts:::1 enzolaris enzolaris.local localhost loghost
/etc/hosts:127.0.0.1 enzolaris.local localhost loghost

For svcs

Code:

I hope this will help.

Looks like you disable networking on your machine.

igadoter · 04-10-2010, 02:40 PM

All what I can remember now is that I disabled all interfaces
except the one of my USB Realtek Wifi adapter.

But there are any connections between the network and the fact that the user directory disappeared?

How did you do that ?
What says:

Code:

ifconfig -a

Definitely. The user directory didn't disappeared, only the automount using localhost did.

HI,

How did I disabled all interfaces? I was using nwam GUI interface, but
the work it run was annoying me, as it still was trying to activate and deactivate all network interfaces, when I clcked on icon of nwam on system tray poped up menu and I checked the option 'Always use utw0 network interface'. That's all.

Code:

 
root@enzolaris:~# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
     inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
     inet ::1/128

On board I have ethernet network adapter (wired) and wireles Intel/Pro 2100 adapter, both useless as I have no wired network and driver (as I know) for Intel/Pro does'nt support wpa.

Code:

svcs -xv physical

?

In any case, as I doubt you have any interest in using the automounter, a quick workaround would be to disable it for the home directory (comment out the line "/home auto_home -nobrowse" in /etc/auto_master) and set your home filesystem mountpoint to /home/piotr.

Something like:

Code:

zfs set mountpoint=/home/piotr rpool/export/home/piotr

In the meantime I enabled nwam and now I am allowed to login in graphical mode as user - it's seems that everything is ok.
