That would work OK for home directories but not for everything else. There are several shared directories in the volume; they are expected to be at paths like "/data2/share1", etc, so they wouldn't be able to use a parameterized mount like the home directories. This still leaves us with ownership and permission problems (on the shared directories) in the case where a second user logs into the same system where someone else is already logged in.
On a related note, the polydirs also helpful for getting around cases where pam_mount fails to unmount a volume. It may only be because one user's polydir is invisible to other users, but I suspect that the namespace teardown is actually more reliable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1908638 Title: mounts to polydirs not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libpam-mount/+bug/1908638/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
