Move Documents folder to an other partition or drive.

If you move all those folders there won't be much left in your home folder so it might be easier to move the entire home directory. But if you insist you can do this by creating symbolic links.

here are the steps for moving the Documents folder. the rest are handled similarly. (I would advise you to first try them on a test user account).

1. Run the following commands in terminal

*cp -Rp ~/Documents /Volumes/"diskname"*

Put the name of the disk you are moving it to instead of diskname in the above

2. make sure that everything copied correctly and run

*chmod -R -N ~/Documents*

3. next, delete the original documents folder:

*rm -rf ~/Documents*

4. And finally, create a symbolic link.

*ln -s /Volumes/"diskname"/Documents ~/Documents*

again, put the name of the disk you moved Documents to in the above.

I believe, that covers it.

P.S. i believe you'll loose the special system icons on the Documents folder when you do this so you might want to copy that icon and paste it onto the folder /Volumes/"diskname"/Documents before deleting the original Documents folder.
