I use a basic /home on the root drive with each users directory mounted

So each user has their own partition? Do you also use LVM so that you
can create/resize or remove them as needed? That's an interesting idea.
No, I don't use LVM. Had a drive issue with LVM a few years ago and it
was a nightmare to get around. Turned me off of LVM since. Know others
that have also been burned by LVM.
With the costs of drives today, I just provide LOTS of space. If they
need more, then I add more in a sub directory that they need it in.
Small system, few users, not a major management problem.
It is easy to move to a new/different partition if needed.
Using this technique and pam_mount, you can also setup, per user
encrypted partitions. Extra security if needed.
I have been using this idea for over 10 years and other than an LVM
headache, it has been no problem.
