I am trying to move my home directory to a secondary drive, but I am running into to two issues.
When I try to do it via Finder I get the error - The operation can’t be completed because “<my account name>” needs to be downloaded. And when I try to do it via the terminal in recovery mode (after mounting the Data directory), It seems to copy a set of directories within ~/Library/Daemon Containers/. These appear to be snapshots of some sort, which when cp runs, end up taking up the entire drive of the target drive, which is 4 times larger than my base volume.
Two questions:
- Why I am getting the message via finder (and how do I get around it?
- What is the correct process for moving the home directory to a second drive?
Thanks!
