My rpi2 (long following 11.0-CURRENT via periodic updates via source =
builds and now 11.0-STABLE) still has no /home (not even as a symbolic =
link) but does have a /usr/home . (FYI: I use mergemaster.)

So I'm not sure how you got a /home created.


Side note to avoid the above making a bad suggestion: /swapfile0 is not =
in use because the last time that I tied file based swapping it was not =
reliable: the system can hang. (Bugzilla submittal 206048 was made. The =
issue is not arm specific, with a comment added about an arm64 =
virtualbox client example at the time.)  I've a separate partition that =
is used for swapping.
