In our UNIX machine my home path looks like /home/<userid> and we have another batch user whose home looks like /export/home/<userid>I want to know what's the difference between /export/home/<userid> and /home/<userid>?Why there are difference in folders when both are some user in UNIX?
Difference between /export/home and /home
solaris;nfs;directory structure;home
As Noufal Ibrahim says, I think this is a Solaris convention.IIRC, /export/home is used on the server where the actual files live, and /home is where the other servers mount it.What does mount | grep home say?  I'm guessing that /export/home has a file system type of UFS, and /home has a type of NFS?/etc/fstab may also have some clues.
