What I find convenient is to have one partition per OS and on all
partitions create a user with the same name and uid and point their home
folder to the *same* place. In other words, they all share the same
home folder instead of having separate ones. This means that your work
flow is not so disrupted: your dock icons are the same, desktop is the
same, etc.
I wouldn't do that. There is at least one directory in your home folder
that is OS dependent: Library. Since you are doing with no adverse
effect, we can deduce that ~/Library is [mostly] forward and backward
compatible, but I would not bet on that.
I've
been doing it successfully since at least 2005 with every release of OS X since then, including almost every developer seed.
I've been doing the same since at least 10 years without any problems (not installing developer seeds though).
Whenever a new OS X appears, I install it into a new partition, replace /Users with a symbolic link to /Volumes/My User Partition/Users and create a symbolic link /Applications/Xcode.app → /Volumes/Previous OS/Applications/Xcode.app.
But then I have to recreate the users on the new OS. (Create gerriet, create administrator, create one more, delete the default me)
Is there a way to just copy some file which contains the users to the new partitions to avoid this tedious and error prone creation of users?
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
How do you cope with mail upgrading its database format? Isn't that a one-way trip?
