# Personal directories on `/sf/bernina`

`/sf/bernina/config/personal/<username>` is the Bernina convention for a
per-user directory on real, git-friendly NFS storage — unlike
`~/network_drives` (SMB), which can't hold a git repo (see
`migrate_to_network_drive.md`). The gopass guide (`gopass.md`) uses it for
a personal store clone that's automatically the same on every Bernina
host.

## Usage

```bash
create_personal_dir            # create/verify your own directory
create_personal_dir someuser   # provision on someone else's behalf (needs root, or ask them to self-serve)
```

Safe to re-run — only changes what doesn't already match.

## What it does

1. Makes sure the shared parent (`/sf/bernina/config/personal/`) is
   group-writable with the sticky bit set — like `/tmp`: anyone in
   `unx-sf_bernina_bs` can add their own subdirectory, but nobody can
   touch anyone else's. Offers to fix it (`chmod 3775`) if you own it and
   it isn't set up that way yet; only ever needs doing once, since
   `/sf/bernina` is one NFS export shared by every Bernina host.
2. Creates (or verifies) `<username>`'s own subdirectory, locked to
   `2700` — owner-only, nobody else can list or read into it even though
   the parent is browsable.
