You're running automounter. There is a /home entry in /etc/auto_master. Turn off the automounter or at least remove the entry: "/home" from /etc/auto_master

automountd

automountd(1M)															    automountd(1M)

NAME

       automountd - autofs mount/unmount daemon

SYNOPSIS

       automountd [-Tvn] [-D name=value]

       automountd  is  an  RPC server that answers file system mount and unmount requests from the autofs file system. It uses local files or name
       service maps to locate file systems to be mounted. These maps are described with the automount(1M) command.

       If automount finds any non-trivial entries in either the local or distributed automount maps and if the daemon is not running already,  the
       automountd  daemon is automatically invoked by automount(1M). automountd enables the svc:/network/nfs/nlockmgr service (lockd(1M)), and the
       svc:/network/nfs/status service (statd(1M)), if NFS mounts need to be done.

       At startup, the automountd daemon is invoked as is invoked as the system/filesystem/autofs:default service. See .

       The following options are supported:

       -D name=value   Assign value to the indicated automount map substitution variable. These assignments cannot be used to substitute variables
		       in the master map auto_master.

       -n	       Turn off browsing for all autofs mount points. This option overrides the -browse autofs map option on the local host.

       -T	       Trace. Expand each RPC call and display it on the standard output.

       -v	       Verbose. Log status messages to the console.

USAGE

       See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of automountd when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).

       /etc/auto_master        Master map for automounter.

       /etc/default/autofs     Supplies default values for parameters for automount and automountd. See autofs(4).

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWcsu			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

       svcs(1), automount(1M), svcadm(1M), autofs(4), attributes(5), largefile(5), smf(5)

       The automountd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:

       svc:/system/filesystem/autofs

       Administrative  actions	on  this  service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The ser-
       vice's status can be queried using svcs(1). If it is disabled, it is enabled by automount(1M) unless the  application/auto_enable  property
       is set to false.
