I don't know if this would bypass the 8gb limit.
Exactly, the 8Gb limit applies to the partition used to boot the computer. In all my old world machines with OS X I use a 8Gb partition for the OS X system, OS 9 System and all (or most) applications. I move the User folder to the second partition and link it to the Boot partition. All other general data is stored on the second partition. The 8Gb boot partition has enough room for the OSs and apps, at least in my case. The only exception is Route 66, since it takes 2.4Gb, I put it on the second partition.
Clark,,
Is that all you did to move OS X's /Users directory to a new partition? Do any of the iApps (or anything else) complain about it being a link, or does the actual /Users directory ever get recreated by some installation?
