/home is included in the filesystem package, so when that gets upgraded, /home gets restored. This can't really be done as a special case for /home. You might want to add "%_netsharedpath /home" to /etc/rpm/macros. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.3; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko) Description of problem: We have /home mounted via the automounter to /net/home. /home is a symlink there for convenience. During the updates FC1=>FC2 and FC2=>FC3 this symlink was removed and replaced with an empty directory. I had to rmdir /home; ln -s /net/home /home afterwards to get back to the old state. I'd suggest to leave /home alone as a symlink in case it exists. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC2 2. Move your /home directory somewhere else and make /home a symlink there. 3. Update to FC3 using the CD ISOs. Actual Results: /home was no longer a symlink to /net/home, but an empty directory. Expected Results: I'd expect /home to still point to /net/home after the update. Additional info:
