Create a Users partition for your Home directory
I installed the latest Panther security update. Since then I am unable to access the files in my home directory on a separate hard drive (all was working fine before the update). I only see the root folders (movies, music...) but nothing in them. Doing a get info on these folders show me that I really am on the 2nd hard drive (as expected).
Create a Users partition for your Home directory
I have had no probems with my /Users on a seperate partition. Although I found some of the older tips on enabling this were not working. For me the simplest technique worked. Edited /etc/fstab to add in the /Users drive, then simply created an empty dir name /Users on my root and the /Users drive mounts directly to that. To the rest of the system it shows up seamlessly as living on the /root anyway - so no installers balk at it or anything else that can get finicky. Did the same thing with my /applications also on another partition.

I have Panther installed and used the tip at the start of this thread to move Users to a partition named Users.

Create a Users partition for your Home directory
The symlinks method does not seem to work very well in Panther. This method is working for me just fine with a seperate /Users and /Applications dir. Here's a quick overview - more detailed instructions can be found elsewhere at MacOSXHints...
Create a Users partition for your Home directory
I'm using 10.3.2, and I tried to alter fstab, without altering netinfo, and it didn't work.
The finder hangs on log-in and the dock won't remember its placement. I tried tweaking it for a while, but no dice.
I made sure that the "Ignore permissions on this volume" was unchecked in the finder's get-info box. I tried repairing permissions.
Oh well.
Create a Users partition for your Home directory
I have exactly this setup (10.2.8), but could not get Panther to reboot after Upgrade install, so restored from CCCloned backup. I am able to boot Panther from another partition, but would like to do the "Update" install on my Jaguar partition. So, how can I undo this setup? I understand how to restore the contents of the original directories using ditto, but the fstab and netinfo settings baffle me. |
