I've got Yosemite installed perfectly.

But due to small SSD (32 gb) that i have, i plan to move non system folder to second drive.

I've done this trick in maverick. But when i try it in Yosemite it doesn't go as plan.

 

What i did : 

 

1. cp -rp  /Applications /Volume/second/Applications

 

2. mv /Applications /Apps

 

Works : mv /Applications /Application.old

 

3. ln -s /Volume/second/Applications /Applications

 

4. rm /Application.old

 

5. restart

 

In maverick this trick do the job. But in yosemite it refuse to enter desktop after login (some error occurred).

 

Whats wrong?

Anyone done this in yosemite? or maybe yosemite change the way it works.

 

 

UPDATE: Working, now i have /Applications and /Users folder on another drive, so i can have 20gb left for system only.
