macos - How to make the Users Directory a different partition in Snow Leopard?


How do I set up Snow Leopard so that my user's folder resides in a separate partition?


I want to do this so that when I format my main partition i don't have to backup and restore the user directory.



Answer



Copy your home directory to the new location/partition. The go in the System Preferences -> Accounts, right-click on your user icon and select Advanced Options. There you can set the Home Directory to the new path.
