It appears autodiskmount does not allow a location to be specified as the mount point for each device in the current release of Darwin. I asked an Apple OSX developer about it a MacWorld NYC, and he asked WHY I wanted to do it-why do they always ask dumb questions like that? I responded that since I ran a Beige G3 and I was stuck in the first 8GB, I wanted to move my /Users to my 32GB second partition.afterall, isn't being able to DO THAT sortof a reason in and of itself to use Unix? This solution? Buy a new Mac. But Apple has things so screwed up that I can't edit FSTAB and get it to work (NetInfo ignores fstab, unless you do the niload command-plus it has been stated elsewhere that since OS X loads devices asyncronously, one is NOT guaranteed that the /dev labels will be consistent through restarts.I would think that the slice labels would be though) In the other (the April postings) nrich posted about altering the Disks StartupItem, which I think is the most promising idea yet, but I'm not sure that his instructions are complete, as he never has you go back and alter the /etc/hostname file to re-enable autodiskmount and automount (so the StartupItem shouldn't ever startup automount). I bug filed it with Apple.Ĭlearly the best and most Unix solution is to have the system "mount" a partition on the /Users point. If I go into the Users System Prefs Panel and create a new user, the program ACTS like it is making a new user, but the ~userhome and its assorted files are never created.a bit of a pain to say the least.

If you got it to work, then congrats, because it doesn't on my install of 10.0.4. For example, I have an alias to the Favorites.html in OS9.1 in my Explorer preferences. The only problem I had, was that some aliases may not work anymore. After re-logging, you should see that the system recognizes the Users folder on the other partition as the one with your home directory. Then, you have to log out and log back in again. Now a symbolic link exists where the original Users folders resided.
rename original Users folder to Users-old So, I decided to try and have MacOS X recognize the other partition as the Users directory.
However, OS X does not allow guest-sharing of files outside of the Public folder. One for OS 9.1, one for OS X, and one I wanted to use as some file repository.
