Sym-link from the user's home directory to directories on this partition. The "Users" folder on the "Mac OS X" partition is sym-linked to this partition.Scratch: Store user desktops here.

If you set up your partitions correctly, you can avoid a whole lot of maintenance, like defragging. It will, if you run the system long enough, background tasks to rotate logs and clear memory and swap, it will optimize and link every time you install an app, installing an app is merely a function of copy and paste or drag and drop (for the most part), deleting an app is usually the preferred method of uninstalling, the disk defragments itself as it goes, the disk ALSO optimizes itself as it is used, and your system also will prompt you weekly to install new updates if it finds them.About the only thing you need to do is:Click yes when an update is found (though to be safe you should check a forum like this first)Reboot the system once a month, "just to be safe," though with the rate at which Apple releases updates, I find I rarely have a higher than 21 day uptime anyway. Okay.Computers are pretty stupid, but they have prodigious memories, are really fast, and are really good at following instructions.Someone smart decided, "Hey, we can make the computer do all the complex, repetitive, algorithmic stuff, and let the people do all the difficult, creative, interesting stuff,"So they created the Mac.Now, some 20 years+ later, we have OS X.Really, the computer will do all the stuff you need in the background.
