Having two "Applications" directories in common use might be confusing
One possible issue: if you have the Apple apps installed /Applications
on both partitions, could it launch the wrong one sometimes?
If you're worried about this (and it certainly was an issue with
earlier seeds) then one idea is to unmount the OS partition you aren't
using. You can do it via diskutil.
(handy script from macosxhints:)
#!/bin/bash
if [ -z $1 ] ; then
echo "usage : disk <diskname>"
echo "mounts <diskname> if it's not mounted, and"
echo "unmounts it if it is already mounted."
exit 1
fi
NAME=$1
PART=`diskutil list|grep $NAME|awk '{print $6}'`
if [ -z `ls -1 /Volumes/ | grep $NAME` ] ; then
# check that PART appears to be a disk partition
echo Checking $NAME $PART
if [ `file /dev/$PART | awk '{print $2}'` = "block" ] ; then
echo mounting $NAME $PART
diskutil mount /dev/$PART
else
echo /dev/$PART does not appear to be a disk partition - exiting
exit 1
fi
else
echo unmounting $NAME
diskutil unmount /Volumes/$NAME
fi
You can set this up to run automatically as a login item, via
applescript for example.
