It's not a bug, more like an undocumented feature / idiosyncrasy :)
You cannot have your "homes" folder pointing to an existing share (only
an existing folder)
So for instance, if this is your tree:
VG
LV
Folder1 <--- allocated as share, cannot be made homes folder
Folder2 <--- not allocated as share, can be made homes folder
I suppose what really needs to happen is that any folders allocated as
shares should not be listed for allocation to "homes". We'll add that
to our todo list - but don't hold your breath ;)
So in essence, create a new folder under your main LV (in the "Shares"
tab) and allocate that to "homes" in SMB settings.
