Hello,
I changed my /etc/fstab to the new location and edited nslcd.conf as before.
Something important I forgot is, that you can't be logged into one of the accounts that is being affected.
This is working fine now.

One Issue I am having right now, is that the gnome bookmarks in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks are still the old and pointing to home directories (e.g. /home/$some_user instead of /media/homes/$some_user.

Does anyone know how I can update the settings in a nice way?
I could just write a script, that goes through all the users, and edits or deletes the bookmarks file... But isn't there a nicer solution, that maybe also works for not so tech-savvy people?

Thank you.
Best,
Lucienne

Hello,
this is not very arch related, but I did not know where to post it else - and my system is arch.

I have a couple of users on a remote server that I mount with fstab to / home. I quickly realized that that isn't a good idea and wanted edited my / etc/fstab to mount homes to /media/homes and edited my nslcd.conf file to say: "map passwd homeDirectory "/media/homes/$prefix"".

Everything worked fine, but when I rebooted, the $HOME variable remained the same, and I could not access my initial home.

Can anyone tell me, how to change $HOME for all users to point to the new $HOME (/media/homes)?

Thank you.
