After installing 10.13 and having everything running ok I attempted to change use my home folder on my 3TB hard drive as I have since 10.9 or 10.10 my home folder location is /Volumes/Data/Users/Numberonekiwi. this is so all my settings work straight away as I always install the new versions to a test drive first this way if it does not work you still have a valid operating system on another boot drive. In previous editions I have simply gone into user accounts clicked the lock and entered my password then right click my name / advanced options to where you can set the location of the home folder. When you do this you have to restart your computer once I did this I got a whole lot of "MacOS need to repair permissions on Library for application to work" or similar. I managed to created another account and logged out and into the 2nd account only to find the whole disk /volumes/Data read only I am now backing that whole folder to another disk so I can reformat Data disk. My question is when dragging that whole folder back to /Volumes/Data what permissions repairs if any do I need to preform or will OS X do this automaticlly ?
