How can I use a secondary volume for my user's home directories?
There are many reasons for using a secondary volume to store your user's files. We highly recommend the practice for increased realiability, performance, and redundancy. In addition, upgrading hardware or software is made much simpler and more foolproof. Follow these steps after installing the NetMAX software and configuring your networking (and before adding any users).
  1. Install a second hard drive in the NetMAX machine.
  2. Boot up the machine and log into the NetMAX interface.
  3. Go to Home->Sharing->File Sharing->Volumes->Create
  4. Specify a Name and Description, and choose the new hard drive from the list of devices.
  5. Store and Commit
  6. Go to Home->Users->Users->Defaults->Home Path and change the Home Path Root Location to the new volume you created.
  7. Click on the OK button.
  8. You will now be able to create users with home paths on the secondary volume.
