I replaced my optical disk with an SSD for startup and Mountain Lion and upgraded my HDD to a larger one.

I also moved my home folder to the new disk. But one thing is still bugging me.

My mid-2010 MBP automatically mounts the new drive as /Volumes/hdd. Do I need /Volumes in there? Do I have to do a symlink?

Maybe this is weird, but I'd like the new drive to behave like the startup drive but not actually be the start up drive.

So your home folder is now inside /Volumes/hdd, but you would like it located as usual in /Users/<your username>, is that right? Do you have any other data on your new HDD? Can you please open Terminal (Applications>Utilities), type df and add it to your question? – jaume Nov 19 '12 at 15:13
