broken home folder - how to log back in ?
Hello, I'm having serious issue on my MacPro 10.7.4, as I can't log in any more.
Issue:
My setup:
- System 10.7.4 on MacProSSD (internal SSD)
- Data on my software RAID0 on 2 internal HD.
Unfortunatly I had the bad idea to move my home folder on the RAID0 cluster.
One of the 2 hard drives just died, making impossible to reach any data on this side !
So now, I just get an error trying to log back, as I guess the system can't find my home folder.
Tentative:
I just set up a second partition on my SSD, installed lion again and boot from here.
So I can have access to the original SSD file system.
I'd like to modify some files to update the path to a new home folder. (not on the RAID obviously but still on SSD).
Could be done by terminal / command line...
I used to know how to do that on linux by modify /etc/password, but I can't find the same files on OSX.
Question:
Do you have any idea on how to modify / update the system user path, so I could boot again from by previous partition ?
Thanks for your help !
