Create a home directory share
A share can be created that is to be used as a home directory for any users that you add to the system. This article describes how to set up home directory storage.
Home directories
Start by logging on to FreeNAS.
- Start by creating a Dataset called 'home', with a share type of SMB.
- Next to your home Dataset, click
> Edit ACL.
- For the Default ACL options drop-down select HOME.
- Click SAVE.
- Next to your home Dataset, click
- Add the Dataset as a Windows Shares (SMB).
- Enter a Name for the share (e.g. home).
- Click the checkbox to Use as a home share.
- Click SAVE.
Now when you create a new user and select this shared home directory, a home directory will be created, with the same name as the username (lowercase).
