Use CarbonCop圜loner (or SuperDuper) to clone the contents of your SSD to the first partition of the HDD.ĭo this, and you will NOT be bothered by Disk Utility trying to "fuse" the two drives again. The "first" partition should be roughly equal to the size of the internal SSD.Ģ. Do what I outline next, and it will NEVER occur:ġ. There _IS_ a way to prevent this from happening. No 'only from left to right' mode at all. Setting up multiple pairs in Synctoy is GREAT pain.
#Synkron left to right mac#
(IF only one of the drives has an OS installed)Īpparently Apple has hard-wired Disk Utility to assume that ANY Mac it finds with an HDD and an SSD (with only one of those drives having a bootable OS) is supposed to contain a fused drive, and it is attempting to "repair things". Synctoy doesn't use Volume Shadow Copy, therefore locked files are not copied. Whenever you try to run DU on a new(er) Mac that has both an HDD and an SSD installed, if those two drives are not "fused", DU will automatically attempt to "fuse" or "re-fuse" them. Well, you have just had a fusion drive created on your internal SSD/HDD.Īpple, in its wonderful wisdom, has made behavior like this a "feature" of Disk Utility. Reboot again and delete your old home folder on the SSD. When you activate 'Detect collisions', Synkron does the same operation as if you activated 'Propagate deletions' - it creates a '.synkron.syncdb' database in each synced folder. Then go to Sys Prefs and redirect your home folder to the internal HDD folder where you copied everything. I have found a bug in that could cause the behaviour and uploaded a fixed version onto the SVN (I am not sure I fixed the right bug, though).
The alternative would be to boot from USB HDD, copy the Home folder to the internal HDD and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the USB HDD to the SSD, then reboot and start up from SSD under your account. I know this is the long way but I wanted everything "Clean". Rebooted again and logged in under my normal account and everything worked. Last step was to open system preferences and make a new user account for myself and in additional options I selected the user folder on the internal HDD as the home folder. When asked to set up my Mac I made an admin account. Next I rebooted my Mac Mini into recovery mode and installed OS X clean on the SSD.
That done I made a folder on the internal HDD for users files and copied my complete Home folder (and in my case also the user folders of other users) including the Library (make sure you make it visible first!) to the folder I made on the internal HDD. Then I (re)partioned the SSD and internal HDD to the desired partitions and sizes. In order to transfer Synctoy folder pairs into another.5 posts Comparison of Synctoy, Synkron and FreeFileSync Backing up pictures and music. I could then test if everything was working properly and subsequently opened disk utility. Next I closed down the system, installed the SSD and rebooted my Mac from the USB drive. Event though we used correct slds classes, alignment will be not at expected position. I used Carbon Copy Cloner to copy my HDD to a USB HDD so I had a bootable volume including all my files. In many cases we need button alignment to left, center or right.
