This practically killed my build system one time, something damaged
Vector.h in CoreFoundation, thus breaking anything building with Cocoa.
What I do now is:
I have two disks:
Disk 1: 40GB
Partition 1: HFS+
Name: Mac OS X
Contents: Base Mac OS X Install, with symlinks to
other disks for /sw, /Library/WebServer and a few others
Disk 2: 40GB
Partition 1: HFS+
Name: Mac OS 9.2.1
Contents: Clean Mac OS 9.2.1 Install
Partition 2: UFS
Name: UNIX_HOMES
Contents: All home folders on the root level, symlink
from /Users to /Volumes/UNIX_HOMES
Partition 3: UFS
Name: UNIX_ROOT
Contents: Anything that should be on UFS or on
a case sensitive disk, including sw, WebServer
(symlinked from /Library/WebServer) and a few others
This in general keeps the flakey UFS format from ruining more than my
frequently backed up sw and WebServer. Probably won't work for most
people though. If not something like this, then I recommend
partitioning up your drive if you ever get the chance, with your base
partition HFS+ and your /sw on a UNIX.
But Apple REALLY ought to fix the stability on that
Just MHO,
