Setting Up User Filesets

Each user has a unique DCE account. You may also want to create a single, separate fileset for each user and mount the fileset at /.../cellname/fs/usr/username, where username is the name of the user who owns the fileset. For example, assign the name user.terry to the fileset for the user named terry. When you mount the fileset at /.../abc.com/fs/usr/terry, the root directory of the fileset (the user's home directory) is named /.../abc.com/fs/usr/terry. The user's home directory contains all of the files, subdirectories, and mount points in the fileset named user.terry.

As with any other fileset, you may want to create additional filesets based on logical file groupings and mount them below /.../cellname/fs/usr/username if the user's fileset becomes too large. For example, if terry has 5000 kilobytes of data in the project1 subdirectory and 3000 kilobytes of data in the project2 subdirectory, you may want to create two smaller filesets organized below /.../abc.com/fs/usr/terry. The table below lists the organization and names of the filesets in this example.


Examples of Fileset Names and Mount Points for User Data

Fileset Name Mount Point
user.terry /.../abc.com/fs/usr/terry
user.terry.project1 /.../abc.com/fs/usr/terry/project1
user.terry.project2 /.../abc.com/fs/usr/terry/project2
