Speaking of Applejack, does anyone know how to get it to clean
user caches and check user prefs when the user folder is on a
different drive? I've tried entering the user name, user number,
and file path but it won't accept any of them. I asked on the
Applejack forum, and submitted a bug report, with no response to
either.
How did you tell the system that the Users directory was on another
disk?
System Preferences-> Accounts-> Advanced Options… (right-click)-> Home
Directory:-> Choose…
If you have a symbolic link from/Users/<username> to the
directory on the other disk applejack should work, BUT you have to
manually mount the second drive before you run Applejack, because
Applejack only mounts the boot volume.
You'll need to know the device number of the second drive, and where
it's normally mounted (which is probably/Volumes/ )
snip
the mount command would be (in single user mode)
/sbin/mount -w /dev/disk1s2 /Volumes/TardisToo
In single user mode I entered:
/sbin/mount -w /dev/disk1s3/Volumes/User%20HDD
and it returned this message:
"Unknown special file or file system"
So I tried the same command but changed the volume to "User\ HDD" and it
returned the same message.
(file system is HFS+ journaled case insensitive)
Should I rename my volumes without spaces? Boot volume is "OS HDD"
