turn on Journaling for HFS+ volumes in Mac OS X
hm_murdock:
I actually think that it would be
sudo diskutil enableJournal /dev/rhd1
or whatever device your HD is... I think. the other way doesn't really do anything as far as I know.
It *is* easier, but not as cool. Several other utils also change when they think they're on OS X server, but I've yet to see the differences.

I don't really know but this is what I got.
I'll try your advise as well.
EDIT: Tried your advise and love it but HFS was already journaled. I like the extra button with the option to disable journaling as well as "About this Mac" info. I have a question though. Does this little "hack" really fool some apps into believing they're running on OS X server or just change the system info? I'm confused! :confused:

The first things I've noticed after following Jimmy James's advise:
- My boot screen is gone but I can see the progress bar
- My login screen reads "Mac OS X Server". Cool! :D
- My firewall settings are gone from System Preferences -> Sharing where they were before! I'm a little confused there. Any ideas? :confused:
I'll have to dig around a bit but all in all I'm impressed!
EDIT: To revert your system to its previous state, all you have to do is remove the "serverversion.plist" file from /System/Lbrary/CoreServices. Just a note..

Disk Utility is obviously fooled. I'm sure other things change, but it'll probably require some searching to find out what.
CommonSense:
I hadn't read of the hack to fool the system into thinking it's OS X Server; I just know the CLI command. (And yes, just putting "/" is sufficient; the OS figures out the exact mount point on its own.)
I see no speed difference on this lowly PowerBook G3/400 (Pismo), but that's a good thing -- they said to expect a 10-20% hit in disk access speed if you enabled journaling. Fortunately, I've seen no change.
