I'm trying to create a Time Machine backup share. As you can see, I created a pool from two sketchy disks, and created a dataset called "Mac Backup".
I also created a user "mac-backups" and gave it access to the "Mac Backup" dataset. What I don't understand is why the ’’mac-backups" directory was created. The home directory for "mac-backups" is set to "/nonexistent"! I figured that TrueNAS users would only be used for authentication, and that I could make user-specific directories if I wanted to. Why does it do this?
