No magic there, unfortunately. Guess at likely usage + past experience on your disk usage patterns. And then make sure you have a good file system tool that supports changing partition sizes - I find that maybe once every year or two I have to reallocate. I use Drive Genius for repartitioning - picked that up a few years back when I discovered Tiger's Disk Utility didn't preserve data when you repartition. At the time DG was the only mac file system tool I could find that provided this capability, and it's worked fine for me. (?Disk Utility maybe can handle now in Leapard+, and maybe some of the other popular drive tools e.g. TechTool?). Relatively expensive for a tool I only use occasionally but invaluable when I need it. ~ Deb --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
