Hi  Enda,

The user data in a users home directory is not part of a BE and is  shared 
between BEs. Any change you make for your user settings will therefore be seen 
for that user across all BEs.

I believe that this shared user data for zfs root is the same for S10.

These are not changes to the BE but are changes to the users data so yes we 
expect that the users data is available to them in all BEs.
