Feature Requests
1

Problem/Justification
Home shares have changed in 25.10.0 this no longer allows the Home Share to be in the format.

\\{server}\{Username}

this is now in the format

\\{server}\{ShareName} this is for all users

Impact
I understand why you have done this have been changed as there were some strange bugs with the original home shares in Truenas 24.10
However in enterprise sometime hybrid windows / Linux environments environments there is sometimes the need for local homeshares for profile storage
Microsoft has recently been updated their information to this at:
Folder Redirection and Roaming User Profiles in Windows and Windows Server

I do not see any news on Samba depreciating this feature.

topic for discussion maybe?
