I am confused!

Sun v210. Fresh install of Solaris 10, 11/06 .

All commands are done as root.

I am unable to create a sub-directory under /home

The error I get is

mkdir: Failed to make directory "toto"; Operation not applicable

I don't have NFS loaded. --> share returns nothing.

/home is not a mounted filesystem.

mount | grep home --> nothing

Yet if i do a umount /home

I am now able to create a directory structure.

And if I do a mount home I get --> mount: Mount point cannot be determined

I am speachless, does anyone have any ideas

This scared me at first too. I believe you are having automount issues. Check /export/home for the 'auto' home folders. That /home is deceptive. I normally shut down all the auto home stuff in the etc folder and just do like I am used to.

/etc/auto_master

and

/etc/auto_home

are probably what you are looking for.

Disable the autofs service that is running. That should solve your problem.

svcadm disable svc:/system/filesystem/autofs:default
