While snapd can read the home directory from the gecos system it is not the technical difficulty preventing the use of arbitrary home directory. This feature is currently unsupported and is listed as such on https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/limitations-in-snapd/9718
I'm sorry for the inconvenience but we had to place those limitations on the user's data location for now. As a workaround you can always mount the desired volume instead of using symbolic links. You can store /home/user anywhere you want as long as you use the mount system to do that. The same goes for /root. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1729576 Title: cannot perform operation: mount --rbind /snap /snap: Permission denied To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1729576/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
