I have the basic partitioning scheme on both my QS 2002 Dual 1GHz and DA Dual 533:
Leopard 10.5.7 (clone from QS to DA) Tiger 10.4.11 (different ones on my QS and DA, could be made the same) Apps (clone from QS to DA and back ...) Docs (clone from QS to DA and back ...) I cloned the Leopard partition using CCC 3.2.1 to the DA, and now have a nicely performing DA Dual 533 under Leopard; but, my User's names are different, so that the Ownership and Privileges aren't quite right on the Docs (and Apps?) partitions, which are also cloned from the QS to the DA (and back). I might decide to use Tiger on the DA, and Leopard only on the QS. I can use BatChmod to change all Ownership and Privileges on the Apps and Docs partitions, but wondering what kind of trouble I might be asking for ... I tried using this through BatChmod on the Docs partition: Owner localusername(TigerDA) Read and Write Group system Read and Write other everyone Read only with some success. At least I don't have to keep entering my TigerDA admin password to save a file there ... now my apps will save modified files to the Docs partition. One Mac acts as a backup for the other, and I do work on both computers, being that they are in 2 Music Studios. I may (should) add an external backup drive off my QS and do backups to it over my Network using CCC and with Time Machine off the QS ... that would be better than CCC back and forth between the QS and DA ... How might I better coordinate / sync my files so Ownership and Privileges will not be an issue across machines? Would creating Users on both machines with the same name resolve some of my issues? and use BatChmod to fix the Ownership and Privileges on both my Apps and/ or just Docs partitions? Seems like Leopard, Tiger and Apps partitions use: system Read and Write, admin Read and Write, and everyone Read only ... and the Docs partition is the one that's off ... Suggestions welcomed.
