make file system as home dir?

Hi All!

 

I am trying to create a user, and make its home directory as an existing file system ( 1Tb), but so far I am unable to do that, it comes with the following error:

'xyz/' is not a valid directory

 Please can have some help!

Not really sure what you are doing, but you probably need to specify the full path to the mounted filesystem, e.g.

 

/xyz


Hope this helps!
Regards

I have already created a user, but right now its home dir is /home/userX, but when I use the usermod command this is what happening:

 #usermod -d xyz/ userX
'xyz/' is not a valid directory
