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.

Moved music folder to another drive, now iTunes won't open

I moved my music folder to another drive but when iTunes starting acting up I moved it back (in fact it got moved around and renamed a few times). I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes now but still get the same message when I try and open it "The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is in the "Music" folder". All my songs are still in my iTunes Music folder, everything else seems to be in place. Please help.

Do a shift-start of itunes.
Press *AND HOLD* the shift key whilestarting ituens.
Keep pressing and holding until you get a prompt to choose an itunes library.
Browse to wherever your music/itunes folder is, and select iTunes Library.itl.

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!

(Which is based on http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20071025220746340)
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.

Moving one folder to another copies the files instead of moving them

I have a folder in the top level of the system disk, and I want to move it into the 'Documents' folder/library. When I click right and drag the folder over, it copies the files instead of just moving it. Just to be clear, the source folder and the target folder are on the same disk.
Thank you for helping!
Pete

I'm on 10.4.11 too.
I could not duplicate your results. On my system, the folder was always moved.
If I didn't have sufficent privileges, I got:
Eventhou it says copy, it did a move after i enterred my password.
I was on an admin id.
Here are the permissions I tried.
mac $ ls -ld 2doc
dr--r--r--   4 root wheel 136B Jul 31 13:05 2doc/
mac $ ls -ld tdoc
drwxr-xr-x   4 mac admin 136B Jul 31 13:04 tdoc/

How to include another partition in tape backup

Hi
I use a shell script written by my sysadmin to take backup of our oracle system on tape. now i moved some datafiles on another partition and hence want to include that partition also in tape backup.
for fs in $(cat /tmp/dailybkupfs | awk '{print $1}')
do
# For / replace the / with root for log filename
if [[ "$fs" = "/" ]]
then
fn="root"
else
# replace any / in fs name with _ for use in log filename
fn=$(echo $fs | sed 's:/::g')
fi
if umount ${fs}
then
echo "${fs} unmounted successfully" >>/tmp/logs/summary
else
echo "${fs} unmount failed" >>/tmp/logs/summary
fi
if ufsdump 0uf prddb:/dev/rmt/0n ${fs} >${log}.${fn}.${dt} 2>&1
then
echo "Full Backup of ${fs} completed successfully" >> /tmp/logs/summary
else
echo "Full Backup of ${fs} failed" >> /tmp/logs/summary
fi
if mount ${fs}
then
echo "${fs} mounted successfully" >>/tmp/logs/summary
else
echo "${fs} mount failed" >>/tmp/logs/summary
fi
done
echo "Full Backup of all DB file systems Complete" >> /tmp/logs/summary
Also the dailybkupfs file has the following contents->
/u01
/u02
/u03
/u04
/u05
/u06
Now to include /u07 partition for backup, I just need to include the /u07 partition in file dailybkupfs.right?
Thanks
Anmol

I am concerned that the config file resides in /tmp.
That filesystem normally gets cleared if the box reboots.
So as far as I can tell, if your box is rebooted, the backups stop working..

Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write, not read only. Documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder or saved directly into that folder on the server. Not happening with anyone else but me and the boss's computer so has to be in the properties for my text edit software. Techies can't figure it out after trying for two weeks. Boss can do a cut and paste and put into a new document, but that's starting to become a problem.

Hi Reddy,
If you are moving files in two libraries in different sites, then the error will occur and it is by design that there are limitations on the DAV move commands that the DAV client is respecting.

If you are moving files in the same library, I recommend you to use Wireshark to reveal the error message and enable IIS
Trace Logging for Failed Requests to examine the IIS log file for troubleshooting.

To narrow down the issue scope, I recommend you to test with another library and see if the copy in explorer can work.
Best regards.

Inherit metadata not working when content is moved from one folder to another

Hi All,
I have a unique situation for which i would like to know if there is any solution.
We have WebCenter Content 11.1.1.8.0 installed with Framework folders, Accounts and RoleEntityACL (Access Control List-ACL) enabled.
We are not using Accounts, but are using ACL since we want the end users to be able to modify the content access permissions.
Now as per documentation - Managing Content Repositories section 11.2.3.2.1 What You Should Know About Item Level Security
The following occurs in Oracle Content Server on setting custom permissions for a file or folder from the Item Level Security dialog:
The account is changed to account WCILS/original_account.
All users are by default granted RWDA on account WCILS. Changing the account to WCILS/original_account ensures that only the custom permissions determine the security on the content.
The ACL content metadata fields, xClbraUserList and xClbraRoleList are updated with the custom permissions.
The content metadata field, xInhibitUpdate is set to true, to prevent ILS from overwriting an item's own custom security with a parent folder's custom permissions.
Now when i am copying or moving any item from one folder to another folder, it does not inherits the Roles Access Control Lists, User Access Lists of the destination folder in which i am copy the content. It does not inherit the other metadata values like comments and a few more custom metadata value.
I understand that this is due to the xInhibitUpdate metadata field, mentioned above.
Is there any way to override the xIhibitUpdate metadata field and set it to false?
Does anyone know what event is fired when we perform the copy or move of a content item?
Thank in advance
Amit

Moving Stack from one folder to another?

Is there a way to keep a stack together while moving it from one folder to another. When I grab the stack and drop it to a folder, I view the folder and the images are no longer in a stack. It would save me a lot of time if they would stay stacked. Am I missing something?
Thank you.

Well your code is unreadable because you didn't post it properly, but I'd guess you've fallen into the old multiple-delete trap in a new way. It's like this:
To start with you have messages numbered 0, 1, and 2, let's say. So you write a loop that lets i run from 0 to 2 and delete message number i in the loop. What really happens? The first time through the loop you delete message number 0, after which you are left with messages numbered 0 and 1. The second time through the loop you delete message number 1, after which you are left with message 0 only. The third time through the loop you delete message 2, which isn't there and you get that message.
That's just a guess, I didn't have the patience to read that ugly unformatted code. There are two ways to do the multiple delete properly, if that's actually your problem: (1) run the loop upwards from 0 and always delete message 0; (2) run the loop downwards from N-1 to 0 and delete message i.

ML Automatically sorts files by name when moving from one folder to another.

Hello, i usually used to move a bunch of files like images or mp3s from one folder to another and in Lion, when moving like 20+ files to another folder, they was being placed where you clicked.
Seems that in ML when i move the same amount of same files, rather than placing them at the cursor, it just moves them and sorts by name. How to avoid this?

Moved the system to another hd and partition - cannot create root dev

hi,
i moved my arch system from one hd to another one, also to another partition. now the system does not come up, complaining it could not find the root partition. it still expects the old one, even though grub does have the right kernel option.
is this inside the initrd? how can i change it there?
is chrooting an option to rebuild the initrd?
thanks for your advice,
das.t

First, make sure your GRUB entry is pointing to the correct partition, if you use UUID entry then you must update it exactly to reflect the new partition ID. Use "ls -lhF /dev/disk/by-uuid" to find it.
Second, you must edit the fstab, look above.
Third, try to boot with kernel-fallback.img
Fourth, when sucessfully booting, rebuild the initrd image with "mkinitcpio -p kernel26", after that you can boot with standard initrd.

Moving messages from one folder to another.

hi there,
I am trying to move messages from one folder to another. It works perfectly when i try to move one message at a time. However when i try to move more than 1 message(for e.g 2 messages) only the first message is being move to the destinated folder and while attempting to move the 2nd message it is throwing IndexOutOfBounds exception.
This is how i am attempting to move the message.
String destFolder = request.getParameter("fold");
String srcFolder = request.getParameter("originalFolder");
Store store = (Store)session.getAttribute("store");
Folder sourceF = store.getFolder(srcFolder);
sourceF.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
if(!(destFolder.equals("null")))
String[] msgs = request.getParameterValues("list");
System.out.println(msgs.length);
Folder destinationF = store.getFolder(destFolder);
destinationF.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
if(msgs != null)
for(int i=0; i<msgs.length; i++)
     int msgNbr = Integer.parseInt((String)msgs);
     int[] msg_id = {msgNbr+1};
     Message[] msg = sourceF.getMessages(msg_id);
     sourceF.copyMessages(msg,destinationF);

Moving files from one folder to another caused freeze

I now have a list of files stuck in the center of my screen.
I'm sure a reboot will fix this (I hope!) but I thought it was a bug worth reporting.
All I did was move a copy a collection of files from one folder to another folder. It made the "move" sound, and the files have been copied, but something clearly went wrong

Have java.io.File objects pointing to the three folders. Get the list of all the files in the folder. Start a loop and check if the filename ends with Data.dat. If it is so then copy file to the final folder.
To Copy file you can use any of the two approaches.
1. You can read that file as byte stream (java.io.FileInputStream) and write it to the other folder as bytes (java.io.FileOutputStream).
2. You can use shell commands to do this. (java.lang.Runtime.exe() method)

Moving topics from one folder to another

Can anybody please help me on this issue. Is there any way i
can move topic from one folder to another without disturbing the
link and all that. I am afraid to move topic from one folder to
another because i feel that it might disrupt something behind the
scene.

As Peter said, it all should work fine. If it doesn't your
projwect either suffers from a corrupt CPD-file or there already
exists a file of the same name in the destination folder.
If such a file has been copied there from outside of RH,
you'll have to remove the offending file using Windows Explorer.
If there is no such file, close your project, delete the file
named <projectname>.cpd and open the project again.
