Well, it's not quite that simple. This is proving difficult to track down, and it is very frustrating, because rebooting from the Sandbox will periodically fail with the symlink to the main volume user folder broken.

I have a question about how the Sandbox works (or really, it's how Mac OS X works). My Sandbox and main volume are on the same physical drive. I'm trying to figure out when the symlink breaks.

If the symlink breaks while I'm booted off of the Sandbox, would I notice it immediately, or only if I attempted to access my userfolder via the symlink?

Is it possible that the symlink is breaking during the boot process? What happens if doing boot time the Mac tries to follow the symlink and for some reason cannot? Will it automatically create a new user folder?
