I hope you only have one /Users directory.
There's nothing to keep someone from making one in each volume.
Is there some way to distinguish *which one* you want to find?
I don't know that we have a good way to distinguish the active boot volume
from Squeak.
Though I suppose you could look for the other top-level directories
(perhaps /tmp or /var ?) to see if various tell-tale files/dirs exist.
to find the top volume (the parent of (some) /Users directory):
topVolumes := (FileDirectory root) directoryNames select: [ :name |
(FileDirectory on: name) directoryExists: 'Users' ].
topVolumes size > 1 ifTrue: [ self error: 'now what? more than one Users
directories!' ].
usersDirectory := FileDirectory on: topVolumes first.
directoryNamesUnderUsersDirectory := usersDirectory directoryNames.
directoriesUnderUsersDirectory := directoryNamesUnderUsersDirectory collect:
[ :dirname | usersDirectory directoryNamed: dirname ].
