Did this on my Mac Pro 4.1 -> 5.1 with Sierra in order to move the left standing system folder to a SSD (without including the large users folder) and everything seem to work as expected.<br /><br />1- However - The last icon adjustment won't work. Do you have any suggestions? Is a different approach needed for newer operating systems?<br /><br />2- is there a way to successfully move only the ~/users/shared folder back to the SSD? <br /><br />I would really appreciate some clues to really fulfill the "surgery".<br /><br />Thanks again:-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16126403717870084233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484732581203772469.post-9713336019825796812016-11-25T18:22:00.898-08:002016-11-25T18:22:00.898-08:00This guide helped a lot, though in 10.11 disk util...This guide helped a lot, though in 10.11 disk utility has had the functionality changed and you can not copy the uuid. To make it easier in terminal I get the UUID and label of a disk by typing "diskutil info -all" (I could specify the drive itself too). This will give you two uuids, you want the first one.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01782772370374878052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484732581203772469.post-67230573864710469212015-12-15T05:15:39.650-08:002015-12-15T05:15:39.650-08:00I replaced Laura Müllers Realtek RTL8111 driver wi...I replaced Laura Müllers Realtek RTL8111 driver with this one.

Sometimes is just happens randomly after a lot of network activity downloading stuff, but it happens for sure when cables gets disconnecte and connected again. <br /><br />Network settings turns to red and then turns to yellow (self assigned ip). If you need some logs just tell me where to get them and i'll send them to you.<br /><br />Thanks for the great work and greetings from Venezuela ;).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07078602864715302959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484732581203772469.post-29823148761538994192014-04-12T07:19:07.501-07:002014-04-12T07:19:07.501-07:00Just wanted to say thanks for putting this up, it ...Just wanted to say thanks for putting this up, it really helped.<br />Best, Dušan Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484732581203772469.post-68697525917852038912013-11-24T15:32:41.225-08:002013-11-24T15:32:41.225-08:00very good!

So I recently started investigating options of gaining some control to protect my data. I am clueless to programming etc, non very technical, but your blog is so useful and makes it easy for me to follow what you say and go do it. <br />Having said that, I will just now try to mount a partitioning on my Users point, so... crossing fingers now! <br />Thanks so much!

...@Jonathan Payne: I totally missed your comment...<br />Have you verified that Ownership is enabled on the RAID volume ?<br />Was the backup a recent one ? With correct UID (the numeric UserID associated with a user account) ?<br /><br />For getting things back in order, I'd recheck UID and permissions.<br />1) Checking the UID:<br />Open "System Preferences|Users & Groups", right-click on your User, and select "Advanced Options". <b>Don't make any changes there!</b> Just note the User ID.<br />For example, 502<br /><br />Then check the UID of your home directory<br /># ls -lnd ~lnx2mac/<br />drwxr-xr-x+ 24 <b><i>502</i></b> 20 1462 Feb 19 06:44 /Users/lnx2mac/<br />As we can see in this case, 502 is the User ID, just as it's expected.<br />Otherwise, you'd have to use the 'chown' command or the Finder interface (via the Info window) to change ownership.<br /><br />2) Checking the permissions:<br /># ls -lde ~lnx2mac<br />drwxr-xr-x+ 24 lnx2mac staff 1462 Feb 19 06:44 /Users/lnx2mac/<br /> 0: group:everyone deny delete<br /><br />In this example, the output of the ls command starts with 'drwxr-xr-x+'.<br />This means it's a <b>d</b>irectory, and it's followed by the permissions for the 'owner' (rwx), the group (r-x), and everybody else (r-x).<br />Permissions are a combination of: <b>r</b>ead, <b>w</b>rite, and e<b>x</b>ecute (which for directories means allow entering them).<br />The <b>+</b> means extended access control (the <b>0: group:everyone deny delete</b> that follows).<br /><br />So, "drwxr-xr-x+" is correct (but you might have more strict permissions like drwx------+).<br />Otherwise, you'd have to use the 'chmod' command or the Finder interface (via the Info window) to change permissions.<br /><br /><br /><br />As for using SymLinks, since I moved my main system to a 240GB SSD, I keep both OS & /Users <b>on separate partitions</b> on the SSD, and the big data on a HDD.<br /><br />Lnx2Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657587386685255719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484732581203772469.post-28238449077479698252013-02-19T07:39:55.940-08:002013-02-19T07:39:55.940-08:00@gino@MacHero I'm glad this solved the kernel ...@gino@MacHero I'm glad this solved the kernel panics on your Xserv !Lnx2Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657587386685255719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484732581203772469.post-46660645765060722142013-02-19T07:37:00.709-08:002013-02-19T07:37:00.709-08:00@Luke Mackenzie: no, the 8110SC is not currently s...@Luke Mackenzie: no, the 8110SC is not currently supported.Lnx2Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657587386685255719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484732581203772469.post-41440388861883568592013-02-19T07:35:29.619-08:002013-02-19T07:35:29.619-08:00@Pedro Varela, when you do disconnect/reconnect th...@Pedro Varela, when you do disconnect/reconnect the Ethernet cable, do you see the 'LED-like' indicator in System Preferences|Network turn Red and then Green ?Lnx2Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657587386685255719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484732581203772469.post-32763742663507940942013-02-19T07:32:53.665-08:002013-02-19T07:32:53.665-08:00@Interloper: Yes, fragmentation support is planned...@Interloper: Yes, fragmentation support is planned for the very next release.Lnx2Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657587386685255719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484732581203772469.post-17168858431858546042013-02-12T09:25:12.242-08:002013-02-12T09:25:12.242-08:00Works great as an alternate driver for StarTech.co...Works great as an alternate driver for StarTech.com PEX1000MMST fiber PCIe card.

I performed this on my Mac Pro, but with a simpler procedure of simply moving the home user to a new vol and linking to it via Disk Utility, etc. Works fine except there is usually a several delay when accessing the user partition, like the boot SSD is looking for the target file. I didn't notice this when all was on the same partition and am considering putting things back on a 3tB drive.DickWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06954307135889810513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484732581203772469.post-38740365050089959202013-01-20T13:50:41.041-08:002013-01-20T13:50:41.041-08:00Should this work with ASUS P5E3 Premium?
