I've been using one of the first iPods as an OSX boot since its release. It has burned over night on many occasions w/o any problems. This hint, on the other hand, presents several puzzles; the NetInfo Manager needed a one after the /iPod (/iPod 1/Users...) and I can't get the modem indicator back on my menu bar. Little things, like these, make me suspect the OS isn't happy supporting this hack.

SciFi do not works
Authored by: hellmachine on Jan 27, '04 08:54:59AM

this should work in any os x system. and its not a hack, its a regular feature. i do this with a partitioned drive on my desktop mac. one partition for the system, one for the userfolder. after this you can raid the system partition anytime, reinstall, change the path of the userfolder to the second patition via netinfo and you are ready...
if it dont work, check for the right typed path again...

iPod 1
Authored by: abriening on Feb 26, '04 10:43:32PM

My guess is that if you login without the iPod attached the system will create a /volumes/iPod folder. Then the next time you attach the iPod it shows up as /volumes/iPod 1. So you should change netinfo back to /volumes/iPod/... and delete the iPod 1 folder. Otherwise if you login again it will create a /volumes/iPod 2 folder, and it won't work anymore.
