lost access to local directories (/Users/<user>/) after changing shell and rebooting the vm

[thatportugueseguy]

Hello,

I am trying to configure a debian 11 vm on my machine (macbook pro m3) and when i changed the default shell and rebooted the vm i lost access to my system's files.

I.e. from the beginning i could access files in my machine in /Users/ze and even do stuff like symbolic links from /home/ze.linux (~) to it.

I have changed the default shell with

sudo chsh -s `which zsh` ze
sudo reboot

And on the next login i had the correct shell, but now /Users/ze is empty:

lima-debian% ls -la /Users/ze
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 ze   ze   4096 Feb  5 17:22 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb  5 17:22 ..

Why did this happen? I can't think of anything else i'd have done to cause this.. Can i regain access to the files?

Update: it seems that reboot does it. Minimal reproduction is just:

INFO[0007] READY. Run `limactl shell debian` to open the shell.

$ limactl shell debian  
ze@lima-debian:/Users/ze/Projects$ sudo reboot

$ limactl shell debian 
bash: line 1: cd: /Users/ze/Projects: No such file or directory
ze@lima-debian:/Users/ze$

Thanks

This doesn't happen after a shutdown, i'm guessing rebooting skips this step:

INFO[0007] [hostagent] Mounting "/Users/ze" on "/Users/ze"

Also, starting and stopping a rebooted vm seems to fix the original issue.

I think this is closed until it's fixed. Going to open an issue.
