My MBPro has less than 9 GB of free space. (100 G 7200 Rpm internal)
I have 5 drives hanging off of it - all Mac OS X Extended and some

XCode 3.0 tools installer won't let me install on any of the
external drives.
Is there something I need to do to bless the drives for the dev tools?
There's no need to "bless" other volumes for the install, but
unfortunately the installer UI for relocatable installs is not very
straightforward at the moment. Here's how you do it:
1) Ignore the "Change Install Location..." button, and/or if you're
presented with the "Destination Select" pane, choose the boot volume
(the only allowed option).
2) In the "Installation Type" pane, click the "Customize" button.
3) In the custom install pane, in the "Location" column, you'll see a
folder icon with the default install location "(Developer)" on a popup
next to one of the install choices. Click on that popup and choose
"Other...".
4) In the file navigator that comes up, navigate to the location you
want to install to. This can be on any volume.
IMPORTANT: Click "New Folder" and create a folder of the name you want
to use for your developer folder. This can be "Developer", as in the
default, "Xcode3.0", or whatever else you choose. If you're not
installing to the default location, you need to create this folder or
the install will fail.
5) Select your new folder and click "Choose".
6) Proceed with the install.
The same instructions apply to Xcode 2.5. Xcode 2.5 and Xcode 3.0 are
the first releases that allow you to choose where to install your
developer tools.
There's an easier way to do all this as well, though: install to the
default location, then go to the Finder and drag and drop your
developer folder to the location you'd like to keep it. Again, this
isn't supported on versions of Xcode prior to 2.5 or 3.0 (and isn't
supported with 2.5 on Tiger).
After moving your developer folder, if you care about being able to
run /usr/bin/xcodebuild, /usr/bin/ibtool, or any of the other tools
listed in the xcode-select manpage, you'll probably want to run the
'xcode-select -switch <path you dragged your developer folder to>'
command after doing this. See the xcode-select manpage for more info.
This isn't necessary when choosing a custom location in the installer.
