Symbolic link not needed
Authored by: daveschroeder on Nov 12, '02 11:19:18AM

Actually, it appears that ServerVersion.plist just has to exist; it doesn't have to be a link to SystemVersion.plist. All you have to do is a

sudo touch /System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist

Then your system won't think it's Server, but Disk Utility will still expose the GUI for Journaling.

It's still probably recommended to get rid of ServerVersion.plist, though, when you're done playing around with Disk Utility.

The touched file has to be deleted indeed. At least Sharing Preferences Pane get confused by the existing ServerVersion.plist file.
