Have Users folder on another partition

I think the technology MS uses is similar, but it's called Dynamic Partitioning. What I'm looking to do is partition a Mac. One partition will house the Users folder, and the other will house the OS, Apps, prefs, etc.. My purpose is that if my OS dies/hosed, I want to blow away the OS partition and leave my user partition in tact. I would essentially just have to reinstall the Mac OS on one partition.
Is this possible? A caveat I would see is getting the OS to know to look in another partition for the Users in the computer. Another problem would be if I created a new user account, would it be created in the User partition, or would it go into the OS partition, forcing me to move it over. Any advice would help. Thanks!

I have not tried the above hint yet, so I can't guarantee anything.
I used to do this "/Users on separate partition" thing back in the days of Panther (I can't remember how, but I think it was via some NetInfo tricks). It worked great, the Users partition was invisible to the Finder, and the /Users folder mounted the Users partition "transparently" (its icon looked like a folder." New accounts were created on the (separate) Users partition -- no migration needed.
But things changed when I upgraded to Tiger. The Users partition appeared in the Finder's sidebar (no longer invisible), and the /Users folder was portrayed as an alias (icon was folder with arrow). I couldn't figure out how to get the previous "transparency" (no volume in sidebar, folder icon not alias), but at least new accounts were (still) created in the separate partition (no migration).
So far in Leopard, I've mounted some remote volumes as local folders manually via "mount_afp" and "link" commands (in Terminal). It's a bit messy in the Finder (mount node folders disappear, link icons appear as volume aliases, etc.); however, at least I can use the "-o nobrowse" option to prevent volumes from appearing in the sidebar. I could go on to elaborate, but it probably won't answer your question.
I'd be happy to clarify my method. Just let me know if you want the details.

How do I move the /Users folder to another disk

I have a shiny new MacPro, dual proc, with four, one TB hard drives in it, running OS X Server on Mountain Lion. The first disk is the startup drive, the other three are simply empty, partitioned drives.
I am to be the sysadmin for this machine (and a half dozen Macbook Pros) for my organization. I don't want user data to exist on the startup disk on this machine. Right now, the only user that exists is my sysadmin account. I want the three non-startup hard disks to hold the user data. I think that what I want to do is map the /Users folder to one (or all) of the other three hard disks, and get that data off of the startup disk.
How do I change the location of the /Users folder?
Assuming this is possible, or desirable, the next question would be about RAID. I have not created any RAID arrays using disk manager yet (this Mac Pro does not have a RAID card).
Should I first create a concatenated RAID set from the three additional disks? I see no advantage to striped or mirrored sets, I will have a HUGE external drive for TimeMachine, and disk access speed is just fine. But, I think I'd want drives 2, 3, and 4 to act as one big drive. I think the concatenated RAID set is the answer to that.
Thank you,
Jess

Moving a folder to another partition

I moved a user's INBOX from one partition to another. Everything went well, except that the Sent folder was unintentionally left on the source partition. I performed this command to move the folder to the destination partition:
mboxutil -r user/<username>/Sent user/<username>/Sent new-partition
It got hung up every time during the process.
What can do I to move the folder back to its new partition?

Thank you for your prompt response. My problems aren't solved however. I am dealing directly with a production server and I have no direct authority to restart the server, as you suggested in your previous replies. The only thing I can do is kill the occassional 'mboxutil' jobs that I attempt to run.
What I have noticed now is that any commands I attempt to run against that one problematic user/<userid> do not work. For example,
I tried, mboxutil -c user/<userid>/test --- to create a test folder and that freezes too.
If restarting doesn't fix the hanging issue, then you can simply copy the contents of the old Sent directory to the new one, remove the old one, and runI tried, mboxutil -d user/<userid>/Sent (to remove the old folder, as you suggested) and that doesn't work because again it freezes.
When I tried to run similar commands on another test account, they all work very smoothly. Now I'm concerned that this particular user's mailbox may have gotten locked somehow. My question is, has that ever happened before and if the answer is yes, what can I do to remedy this issue without having to restart the messagin server.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Permission repair - Users folder on another Hard Drive

Moved Users folder to 2nd internal HD, using NetInfo Manager and a sym link. This is done increase performance in multimedia apps. So in the drive my OS 10.4.5 is on, I have a symlink of User's folder. When I do a permissions repair for this volume, will Disk U., through the symlink, repair permissions on the actual User's folder on the second HD? Though I realize perm. repair deals mainly with OS installed stuff, you never know.

As long as you play by the book - use NetInfo Manger - there is no need to worry or fret that "the next update will break." It doesn't and it hasn't, and I've used another drive for ~/ for over 4 yrs now. It just "works."
That doesn't mean I've tried to use sym_links for Applications or to change the defaults locations - that is where people run into trouble.
What is best should be based on experience, and from the day Mike Bombich (author of Carbon Copy Cloner) put a tutorial on how to change the home directory, no downside and in fact easier to maintain and backup a system (and IF you ever do need to restore the system you don't have to deal with losing what is in /users either, in the rare event your OS update or something does go wrong).
Seems most problems with directory etc are to the boot volume anyway.
Also seems like some FUD and "misinformation" perhaps?

10.6.8 to 10.8.x user folder on separate partition

Hi:
I am on 10.6.8 and want to upgrade to 10.8.x.
I have a time machine backup on one external drive and also a clone (via superduper) on a second external drive.
I want to separate my OS and user files and also have a third test OS partition. My plan is to reformat my 1tb internal drive with 3 partitions as follows: 1. OS ~50gb 2. dev OS ~50gb 3. space/users files ~900gb.
Question: Once I've reformatted drive and intstalled fresh 10.8.x on partition 1, what is the best way to move my user folders (~500gb) from either the time machine back up or the clone to partition 3?
(The problem is I don't know how to tell migration assistant to let me specify where I want to move user folders or restore backup and I'm not sure just copying the folder is the best thing to do.)
Question: (sort of rhetorical) Am I nuts? (not rhetorical) Pros and Cons to what I want to do? Is there a better strategy?
Thanks for any thoughts.

Thanks again.
I remain curious why you would encourage keeping all on a single drive partition? Even if I'm not setting up a dev environment wouldn't the separate OS partition be faster and if corrupted easier to restore from backup?
Yes, it would be quicker to re-install the OS partition but Revovery Mode does that for you. Also not sure what re-formatting that will do to your Recovery Partition.
Thing is that problems usually crop up in the Users,not the OS and you can always revert a user with TM, or troubleshoot that user and find the problem.
I doubt it would be quicker because it has to search 2 volumes instead of just 1.
Any studies? What does Apple say? Any Genius's want to weigh in on this?
I'm sure you can google to find studies. I have no idea what Apple says. I am no genius

Snow Leopard How to install User folder on another hard disk

I am going to install a new hard disk on my macpro.
I would like to have everything installed on my old hard disk but user folder installed on my new hard disk.
Is it possible ? No problems ?
What´s necessary ?

Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy your entire home folder from the old HD to the new one. Then go to System Preferenes -> Accounts -> right-click your account -> Advanced options -> type the path to your new home folder in the Home directory field. If, for example, your new home folder is on the disk named "External", the path would be:
/Volumes/External/yourusername

Cannot Upgrade to 9860 With the Users Folder Redirected to Another Drive

I tried doing the update to 9860 and received an error message that I could not run the Windows Technical Preview because my "Program Files or Users folder has been redirected to another partition". This is indeed the case (my Users folder
was redirected to my other hard drive to save space on the SSD during setup), but if Windows is running fine, why is this not a valid configuration?
I've seen a complicated method to solve this issue and will do that to get the upgrades unless this can be addressed in the updater :)

Hi Fumarin,
This is not the new issue in current build. Actually, Microsoft has gave the reminder before:
Caution Using the ProgramData setting to redirect folders to a drive other than the system volume will block your ability to upgrade to future versions of Windows.
By changing the default location of the user profile directories or program data folders to a volume other than the system volume, you cannot service your Windows installation. Any updates, fixes, or service packs cannot be applied to the installation.
We recommend that you do not change the location of the user profile directories or program data folders.

How do I move my user folder back to my main drive

A while back, I bought a 265 GB SSD. It was too small to accommodate both the system and my user folder so I moved the user folder to another drive.
Now that SSD prices have come down, I have purchased a larger SSD. I want to add this drive, install Mavericks and then pull my user folder back to it.
What I am thinking I can do, but would like input, is the following:
First, this is a Mac Pro so the old SSD, the new SSD, and HD containing my User Folder are all inside.
1. Install Mavericks on the new SSD and create an account with the same name as the existing one. (This should create a new, relatively empty user folder on the new SSD).
2. Use Advance User settings to point to the current user folder on the HD and reboot.
3. Drag contents of the User folder from the HD into the New user folder on the new SSD.
4. Use Advance User settings to point to the new User folder on the New SSD and reboot.
Does anyone see any problems with this? Any assistance is appreciated.

If you create another user on your new drive, then drag your old user to the Users folder, then create amother user with the same name, then it should ask if you want to use the current folder.

Best way to move Users folder off the boot drive

I read a couple of old threads regarding this topic, but I have some lingering questions...
I'm awaiting my Mac Pro. I ordered it with one drive. I plan on adding two drives in a RAID 0 array for data (which will be backed up regularly, of course) as soon as I get the Mac.
This is my first Mac, so I've got some questions (long time PC user as well as AIX & Linux user):
1. Is it better to move the entire /Users folder or just selected /Users/<user_name> folders? I'm thinking it's safer to just move selected /Users/<user_name> folders (e.g. my "everyday" accoun'ts home directory, other family members' home folders, and the /Users/Shared folder). That way, in the event that I have a problem with my data drive (a RAID 0 array), I can login as an admin whose home folder is still in the boot drive and I won't have any problems logging in as that user when doing maintenance.
2. Is it safe to move (and delete from the boot drive) the /Users/<user_name>/Library folder? Note that I plan on moving the home folders on a brand new Mac, but will things get messed up if I delete /Users/<user_name> folders from the boot drive once I've moved them to the RAID array?
3. Are there any ill-behaved programs that expect Users to be in the boot drive, so I have to create a /Users/<user_name> soft link that points to the actual folder in the RAID array?
4. I believe I found the steps suggested in Pogue's Mac OS X Missing Manual book (although it's in the context of moving the folder to an external drive). Basically, it entails running:
a. sudo ditto -rsrc "/Users/<user_name>" "/Volumes/<thenewhome>"
b. Then, in Accounts pane of System Preferences under Advanced Options, enter the new Home folder.
c. Reboot and delete the original /Users/<user_name>
Does this sound right? Seems really simple (much easier than in the Windows world).
Thanks.

Just wanted to clarify:
1. Mike Bombich's method entails moving the entire /Users folder to another drive so everyone's home is moved?
2. David Pogue's method (as described in the Missing Manual) only entails moving individual, selected home folders to another drive (and no soft links needed)?
3. It sounds like Pogue's method is preferable anyway (for the paranoid at least), so if the 2nd drive dies or needs maintenance, I can still login as a user whose home folder is in the boot drive?
4. So, if I use Pogue's method, all that is needed are the steps listed in my original post above, and nothing else?
Thanks.

Spotlight won't find files in user folder

i have spoken to apple tech support on this and they continue to try to find a solution but.....
i have files that spotlight doesn't find. they are in my user folder. in fact, it won't find the folder (s) one is on my desktop, one in documents. (these are just the ones i've tested). when i take the folder and just put it on the hard drive (root level), spotlight finds it. also, apparently, it can be found when i put it in the user folder of another user. i would like to avoid reinstalling the system. any thoughts??

Can I force OS X to recognize a different folder as a user folder?

I have a SSD and to utilize it the way I want on my MacBook Pro I have some of my user folders on my HDD and some on my SDD. The User folder is located on my HDD with a few of the folders such as Pictures set up as shortcut to the SDD folder. Of course because this is not located in the User folder itself, it is not recognized as being one of the folders that should get a special graphic. I changed the icon itself, but in the finder siderbar it still shows up as a regular folder.
Is there a way in terminal to change the recognition of a specific user folder to another?

There is a way to move your user folder to another volume, but there are potential dangers and problems with doing that. For example, if something were to happen to that external hard drive, it would render your computer unusable unless you have other users whose folders are not on that hard drive.
I don't advise doing this, especially not if the only reason you have for doing so is to get a special icon on the Pictures folder on an external drive! Just store your data on the external drive and don't worry about whether it's in an "official" user folder or not.
However, if you're dead-set on doing this, here's how:

How to Have a separate Users Folder on a separate partition

I've successfully installed Mac OS X 10.5 on the 20g partition of my 200gb HD (the other "blank" partition is 180gb). Great, so installation went smoothly.
The 20gb partition is named "sys".
The 180gb partition is named "root".
My dilemma, however, is that I want to have my folder (/users/username) on the 180gb parition (root) and keep ALL of apple's core system software and even all apple applications on the "sys" partition (where it is already installed).
Without the use of aliases, how can I have my user folder entirely on the "root" partition and all other mac software on the "sys" partition?
Thanks I sincerely appreciate any help in this matter as it would organize my file hierarchy immensely. Thanks

The last two messages in the thread seem to be where the meat is. According to this you edit the fstab using vifs and add a mountpoint for /Users.
The thread suggests that you can put a random UUID, I'm not sure if I'd try that. I found the UUID for the partition using disk utility, Ctrl-Click the partition and open up the Information menu. The UUID is in the list.
Also you need to copy over the users from the existing /Users directory structure. The following thread discusses using rsync (the preferred method).

The thread also gives more information about the problem your trying to solve. I don't think it gets the fstab entries right for Max OS X. But you can try both methods and see which works best.

Seeing as I want to solve this partition /users folder problem as well as further my knowledge of unix commands, anyone know any good references for deciphering what all the unix commands mean and what the acronyms stand for so I can understand, as well as apply, the commands?

I think I'm going to want to mount the physical partition of /dev/disk0s3 to "/users/username" if that's possible.
I tried changing the home dir to

/dev/disk0s3
and even

Mac OS X, User Folder and Case-sensitivity (plus a Partitioning Question)

Hello everybody.
Today, I'd like to start a new thread regarding the configuration of OS X and the formatting of the drive with a HFS+ (case-sensitive, journaled) file system.
There is a problem that has been tormenting me for quite some time now, and so far I haven't been able to find a losution yet.
Here is the issue. When I bought my MacBook Pro (early 2011), I changed the main dirve to an hybrid SSD destinating the original 750GB to a Time Machine backup disk. As a consequence I had to make a fresh install of OS X. When it came the time of formatting I've opted for:
Creating two partitions: 1 for the OS and 1 for the user folder (I have only one admin-user). Back then, I was coming from a Win enviroment and having two partitions seemed to be the best option for me. (Less chanche of user-data corruption in case something goes wrong in the OS partition).
Chose a HFS+ (case-sensitive, journaled) file system. It seemed to be the more complete alternative.
Everything was absolutely for a couple of months then I encountered the first issue: Adobe products don't work on a case-sensitive fs.
I managed to get Photoshop to work eventually (manually correcing folders name) and didn't care too much about the rest.
In the meantime over a year has passed and I kept the mentioned configuration, uptdating to Lion and ML. Recently another couple of isses have appeared: AutoCAD presents the same problem as Adobe and there is an issue in the keyboard balcklight control (from forums seems that ML is not able to store any information in System Preferences regarding the backlight).
Despite the fact that case-sensitive fs seems to be the future solution chosen by Apple, it is still premature to have it as OS fs unless you are an hard-core developer that don't care about tons of programs that would eventually miss from your application folder.
Being decided to move back to a case-insesntive fs, I need wish I could calrify a couple of doubts before proceding:
(Not relatete to fs) Is it a good practice to keep user folder on a separate volume? Does it generates any issue on the base of your experience?
Is it possible to have the OS on case-insensitive fs and the user folder on a case-sensitive one? Does the OS have an issue with that?
The second point is the most critical as my data are now on a case-sensitive volume. They mostly consists in documents, images and music which should be migrated on a case-insensitive volume seamlessy, however, I'm not 100% sure about what happened during the last year (i.e. if there has been the generation of not-unique names).
Furhtermore, I wish I could keep a case-sens volume as I plan to be dealing with a Linux enviroment soon. If that could be the user volume, this would be amazing.
I'd also like to ask personal opinion on advantages of having case-sens fs.
I understand I asked lots of questions in a single post. I hope, however, that this thread could be a base to collect some of the quite dispersive topics related to case-sensitivity present on the web.
Best Regards,
Alexander

Linc, in the provious post you said there might be issues having user data on a separte partition.
Which kind of issues are you tihnking of? Have you ever encountered such problems?
The biggest risk is that poorly written software will assume your home directory is at /Users/you and will fail (or worse) if it doesn't like what it finds there.
I really appreciated if you could be more specific and don't worry about being too technical.
There are two ways you can go about it.
1) Set everything up normally as if you only had one partition. Create your user on that one parition. Then, copy all the real user data to the 2nd partition. Using your admin account, make sure that all the permission on the user folder on the 2nd partition are the same as on the original partition. The, use System Preferences > Users & Groups > your account > right/control click > Advanced > Home directory and change it to the home directory on the 2nd partition. Log in to that new account. Make sure everything works. Then delete the user directory at /Users.
2) A even more robust, old-school option is to create an /etc/fstab file and have your 2nd partition mounted at /Users. Then, everything will function normally and your user home directories will all be at /Users. /Users will, however, be on a different volume.

How can I access my user folder on a second boot partition?

Hi there. Thank you for reading this. I am at a bit of a loss although I have searched several forums to find someone having the same problem:
I use my Macbook Pro in the office and at home. To keep things strictly apart and have to separate Time Machine backup procedures, I have divided my harddrive into two boot partitions ('office' and 'private') and installed Mountain Lion on both of them. Now occasionally when I am at the office I would like to access my user folder on 'private' to retrieve a file from the documents folder there (e.g. a paper I gave in my free time but would like to send to a colleague). Now although I see the 'private' volume, and the other user folder and the Documents folder in it with a red 'No Access' badge, even when I set read/write permissions via Command-I > Permissions for my current account, I do not see any files in it apart from Microsoft User Data. I have tried enabling the root user but with the sam result.
Do I really have to shut down the computer and boot with the 'private' boot volume in order to access the files on 'private'>user?
Looking forward to your suggestions! Thank you in advance!
Christian

To solve this issue permanently, is to first disconnect both TimeMachine drives.
Boot into one partition and consider it history, make a note of everything, apps, export bookmarks, serial keys and files to a regular external drive. (non TimeMachine)
If on a hard drive, consider the first partition for performance, the second one is going to be slower. (SSD no need)
Next what you do is boot into the first partition and use Disk Utility to erase (with zero option if a hard drive) the other partition. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the first partition to the second. (should be about equal sizes or tweak before cloning.)
Repair permissions on both partitions in Disk Utility.
Next boot into the second partition and install/uninstall apps and files. etc and set it backup up the way you had it.
Once your sure, then update TimeMachine for each one.
Now you will be able to easily access the other bootable partition as long as your logged into the same account name on the first partition., in other words you can access the same named account on both partitions and trade files without rebooting.
Because it's a clone, you have the same access privileges to the files on the other partition.
If your a power user, your going to find bootable clones are a much superior option than TimeMachine

How to move data files out of Users folder that is in a small partition?

The small partition (50 GB) also has the System, Applications, Developer and Library folders. I would like to move my Documents, Pictures, etc folders from this small partition to the 200 GB partition, preferably without losing too much performance. Does it work just to physically copy them to the other partition and then delete from the Users folder, or does that create problems? I have read somewhere that this may cause a lot of disk searching delays or other more serious problems. Before I reformat the whole HD to a single partition, is there a faster, less drastic solution? Thanks.

I presume I need to use "file-level" copying to the one-partition drive, but is there anything else to consider?
Yes, if you're talking about CCC, then file level is all you can do copying from the drive you'r booted from, but normally best anyway as the copied files will be unfragmented.
When failures occur, I presume they are due mainly to mechanical failures of the drive mechanism, but do "volume failures" occur very frequently?
Very astute! It's rarely possible to just lose one partition & not others, but if it is HW failure on the HD, then likely all will be lost.
or perhaps to a format that can be read by all platforms (other software needed for that?
Actually, your Intel Mac can boot from an APM partition, you just can't install to it or do Firmware updates from it, but it saved my behind when my only IntelMac died recently & I gad everthing 10.5.8 on an APM Firewire drive, I just plugged it into my eMac & had everything available.
Of course99.9% of PPC Macs can't boot OSX from USB, & cannot run/boot 10.6.x

You could format that HDD as Fat32/MS-DOS, but you'd be limited to 4 GB Filesizes.
