unexpected behavior from useradd while chrooted #62

Closed joatmor closed 4 years ago

joatmor commented 4 years ago

I tried adding my user account while chrooted with "useradd -m -g users -G wheel -s /bin/bash lenny" as I have dome for some time. I could see my home directory at /home/lenny and the permissions looked good. However when I rebooted and tried to log in I got an error stating that I had no home directory. When I looked /home/lenny was no longer visible. I tried adding my user account by running "useradd -d /home/lenny -g users -G wheel -s /bin/bash lenny" instead but that did not work either. I was able to confirm this by doing a couple of passes on my test system. For what its worth I launched ALEZ with "alez 2> ~/error.log" to see if it would capture anything. What I got was:

error: '/linux-5.7.12.arch1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz': could not find or read package Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/zfs.target -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/zfs.target.

Did you happen to mount the home dataset? I imagine that would be the problem.

mount -t zfs "zroot/data/home" "${installdir}/home"

I ran a "zfs list" and saw zroot/data/home listed so I though that the dataset was in fact mounted. Maybe that was the wrong approach. What would you suggest?

To see mounted:

zfs mount
joatmor commented 4 years ago

I did a "mount -t zfs zroot/data/home /mnt/home" before chrooting and that fixed it.
