I think I did the same, but on other attempts, I also used Carbon Copy Cloner to move /sw to /Volumes/OtherPartition/sw, and "ditto -rsrcFork /sw /Volumes/OtherPartition/sw". Both worked fine, as far as I remember.

Some tools e.g., AquaTerm, have resource folk. So, if you have these tools installed, hfstar is recommended over tar.


and if you add a line like one of the following into the file /etc/fstab you can even keep the new seperated Volume as if it were directly under '/'

the following example shows how I made my system recognise the '/Volumes/Users -Volume' (a seperate partition on my harddrive) as the regular /Users path. I also added another partition called tmp as the /tmp directory.

# /etc/fstab
LABEL=Users /Users hfs rw 1 2
LABEL=tmp /tmp hfs rw 1 2
#eof

so if you want to have the /sw part in another seperate partition I'd call that partition 'sw' and I'd add the following line to /etc/fstab:
LABEL=sw /sw <type of file system> rw 1 2

and if you don't want these partitions to show up on your desktop, then use the SetFile program in /Developer/Tools/ to hide whatever partition you don't want to see in aqua. (see http://developer.apple.com/tools/mpw-tools/commandref/setfile.html)

hope I could finally contribute something to the list as well *g*

merry x-mas to everyone!
