Re: Server sets up Second Empty Home Directory

Did some searching on the server and found out that in the OS partition there is an invisible folder called Volumes. Inside of this I found aliases to each of the two partitions (Mac OS , Disk 1), an alias to the second hard drive (Disk 2) as well as a folder named Disk 2. Inside this Disk 2 folder I found home directories had been created for any user I had tried to log in as. Inside one of these was the test document I had saved.

This is just the standard mount point for Mac OS X.


This Disk 2 folder was a duplicate of my second hard drive where my user directories are stored!


Didn't know what to do so I dragged this Disk 2 folder to the trash and restarted the server. Went to a client machine and logged in and all my documents are back.

I've seen this mount duplication when a drive had trouble mounting at boot. I would run fsck on that drive to make sure the file system is ok.
