I followed the advice and instructions on MacPerformanceGuide and relocated my Documents and Mail folders to a separate volume called "Master".
Now I want to move them back to the "Boot" drive and I don't know much about terminal commands. Can anyone help me out here?
This was what I typed in the Terminal for the "Documents" relocation:
cd
sudo cp -r Documents /Volumes/Master
sudo rm -rf Documents
sudo ln -s /Volumes/Master/Documents Documents
For the "Mail folder" relocation, I did these
0. Quit Apple Mail, and make a backup of your mail folder.
1. Copy the Mail folder to the top level of your data drive (or elsewhere, then modify step 3 appropriately).
2. Rename the original mail folder to Mail.old as an additional backup.
3. Start a Terminal window and type:
ln -s /Volumes/Master/Mail Library/Mail
How to revert these changes?
