Operating Systems Solaris Delay mounting of home directory? Post 303012441 by kebabbert on Sunday 4th of February 2018 02:11:24 PM
Old 02-04-2018
Yes, the above is correct. I have several soft links from /home/user/Desktop [Documents/Video/etc] pointing to the zfs data disk. Thus, all user data is on the zfs data disk, and no user data is on the Solaris nor Linux install disk.

I have deleted /home/user/Desktop [Documents/Video/etc] folders, and replaced them with soft links, pointing to the zfs data disk.

The problem is that when I boot up Solaris, it cannot find the standard directories Desktop/Documents/Video/etc. This takes a long time as Solaris tries to mount all these folders but fail.

I guess Desktop/Documents/Video/etc all are standard folders that must be mounted upon boot. Maybe if I instead don't touch the folders Desktop/Documents/Video/etc and instead create /personal_files which is a soft link, Solaris will not be struggling. Maybe I am not supposed to touch Desktop/Documents/etc.

NAME
Thunar - File Manager for the Xfce Desktop Environment SYNOPSIS
Thunar [options] [[URI]...] Thunar [options] --bulk-rename [[URI]...] Thunar [options] --quit DESCRIPTION
Thunar is a fast and easy to use file manager for the Xfce Desktop Environment. It has been designed from the ground up to be lighweight with special focus on usability. Its user interface is clean and intuitive, and does not include any confusing or useless options. INVOCATION
Thunar takes a list of URIs for folders that should be opened in new file manager windows or files that should be run using the default application for their types. The URIs may be specified as either file: or trash: URIs, absolute paths or paths relative to the current directory from which Thunar is being invoked. If no URIs are specified, the current folder will be opened in a new file manager window. When the --bulk-rename option is specified no file managers windows will be opened, but instead the URIs will be passed to the bulk renamer. The bulk renamer allows to rename several files or folders at once using different renamer modules. Options -?, --help Print brief help and exit. -v, --version Print version information and exit. -B, --bulk-rename Open the URIs in a standalone window of the bulk renamer. --daemon Do not terminate the Thunar instance when the last window is closed, but keep it running to speed up opening new windows later on. This is the default when spawning Thunar as part of the default Xfce session or when using D-Bus activation. --display=DISPLAY Use the specified X DISPLAY for the user interface. -q, --quit Terminate any Thunar instance running in the background (spawned using the --daemon option). This command should be used whenever Thunar is upgraded to a new version to ensure that no old instance is reused. AUTHOR
