phusion1337 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Short of creating a symbolic link that points the Users folder elsewhere (which I haven't tried yet) is there an official method to set a custom mount point for the Users folder? Say I want my users folder on a different hard drive than the OS drive ... is there an official way to achieve this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Headrush69 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 You can move individual users folder easily. Using Terminal App, switch to root and copy the users folder preserving permission to the new location. sudo su cp -Rvp /Users/username /Volumes/DiskB/ Now start /Applications -> Utilities -> NetInfo Manager and under users, look for that user, from there you can point the directory location to the recently copied new directory.
