Description Rolf Rudat 2019-06-05 08:28:27 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.140 Safari/537.36 Edge/17.17134
Build Identifier: 

Using ext3 on partitions /boot and /.
Creating new users with yast works as long as yast assignes the UID on its own one after the other beginning with 1000.
On the other hand, the command
 # useradd -u 1022 -g 100 -m -d /home/testuser testuser
works fine.
Trying to assing a specific UID during the creation prozess results in an error and the HOME directory will not be created.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start yast or yast2
2. Start creating a new user
3. Chose a specific UID below or above 1000 (e.g. 1022)
4. The user is created and will be usable but missing a HOME directory.

Actual Results:  
The user will be created but his HOME directory not.
The Message is:
"Error. Cannot create home directory /home/<username>. Parent directory is not a Btrfs volume."

Expected Results:  
YaST should create the HOME directory too, like it did all versions before openSUSE Leap 15.1

I did the Online Update, tested several new installations and reboots, but 
this behavior is reproducible with yast1 and yast2.

Could you please attach yast logs?

To collect log files run 'save_y2logs' and attach the log file archive this
command creates.

If you're unsure what to do, please have a look at

Thanks. Looks like a duplicate of bug 1134970.

I've added you to the other bug so you can view it.

I'm intentionally not marking this a duplicate of bug 1134970 as that other bug is not accessible to all. This way we can track the issue for openSUSE here.
