Don't partition MacOX drives. No need to.
Multiple partitions on a drive is an anachronism from the days of MacOS 9. It is not totally without reason. I have several partitions on my drive; one for beta or in testing OSes; one for Linux; one master "working" OS and data; and one with an image for CCC to copy to client machines. I could put them all but the master on a FW hard drive(s), but I prefer to have them all with me wherever I have my powerbook for use as the mood or need strikes me. However, I do have a question: I have heard that Apple's hot-file-adaptive technology and prebinding stuff only works on a drive with one (user-created) partition. Has this changed in 10.3 or .4, or is there an actual penalty for using more than one partition?

"I have heard that Apple's hot-file-adaptive technology and prebinding stuff only works on a drive with one (user-created) partition."
Untrue. The hot-file-adaptive technology kicks in on any partition larger than 10GB. So if you partition your drive with partitions smaller than that, you'll lose hot-files. Otherwise, not. |
