Cardgone Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I have read how you can redirect Home folders, and seems pretty straight foward. What I am wondering though since Kalyway comes with macfuse and ntfs-3g buit-in, can the Home folders be moved to a separate NTFS drive for this? Has anyone done this? (This way when building a dual boot with Vista, if you were to relocate the User Profiles to the same drive, you could have one common set of folders for documents, music, pictures.... Kind of along the lines of what parallels does with a virtual vista, but this would let you accomplish the same with an Actual dual boot machine) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96686-redirecting-home-folders-to-an-ntfs-drive/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
aprodigy Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 one problem on the way: applications / installers wouldn't be able to set folder and/or file permission on a ntfs-drive. don't think you'll get any far with redirecting most of osX internal folders to a non hfs+ partition (some others filesystems may fit, though, e.g. xfs if it would exist). but non-system related folders, i.e. pics, your music collection et cetera shouldn't be a problem i guess. oh, and btw, please note: this sub-forum is not for osX86 questions and i guess, most real-mac-users are most likely to move stuff the other way around and think about ways of moving data from a ntfs-partition to a hfs+ partition.
