what happened?
- I created a new disk image with case sensitive filesystem. The type is ‘spare’ which means it will automatically grow when needed, but initially it will take only 50mb on disk.
- I mounted the image
- I hide it on the desktop (This volume will be always mounted, so I don’t want to see the icon of it) – for this I set the invisible attibute with setfile, and restarted Finder
- And finally I created the projects folder inside the volume, and linked it into my home directory.
