Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS Quick Reference Manual • November 2004

When a user logs on, the server checks for a subdirectory that matches the user’s
name. If a match is found and that share does not already exist, a temporary share is
added. When the user logs off, the share is removed.

Windows clients can automatically log a user off after fifteen minutes of inactivity,
which results in the autohome share disappearing from the list of published shares.
This is normal CIFS protocol behavior. If the user clicks on the server name or
otherwise attempts to access the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS (for example, through an
Explorer window), the share automatically reappears.

Note –

All autohome shares are removed when the system reboots.
