Other Home Directories

After the migration you only have one home directory. If you had multiple ones then the one you have now was the active one. Your other homes are still available and we encourage you to check that there is nothing that you need from these. In most cases these will be empty.

The old home directories remain available for inspection until May 17th.

Access via NFS

On all isginf managed Ubuntu systems you can go to the following path:

/net5/home.inf.ethz.ch/export/home/other_homes

One system where this will definitely work is login.inf.ethz.ch You can access this system via SSH and will have your regular home directory there to copy data from the other, old home directories if needed.

The following shell command shows you all of your old home directories:

cd /net5/home.inf.ethz.ch/export/home/other_homes
ls -d */$USER

Access via SMB

On WIndows, macOS and also Linux you can access the other, old home directories by mapping the following share:

OS	Path
Windows	`\\home.inf.ethz.ch\other_homes`
macOS	`smb://home.inf.ethz.ch/other_homes`
Linux	`//home.inf.ethz.ch/other_homes`

There is a file all.txt in this share that you can open in a text editor and look for your user name. That way you do not have to browse through all group folders.
