[Ubuntu] set default home folder for new users

[MayoMayn]

So I've just partitioned my HDD and SSD because I want to dual boot Windows.

Now apart from that, the Ubuntu 17.10 OS is installed on my SSD, but I want all users to be created under the HDD mount.
The HDD is mounted as /media/sda1

Now if I edit the HOME variable in /etc/default/useradd
to:

HOME=/media/sda1/home # default was /home

and create a new user, the users home folder still gets created under the SDD.
Even restarting my PC didn't work.

Any reason why?
