I was wondering if anyone has had some success with developing their Ionic apps with files that are on a separate drive from their system files?
I have an older MacBook Air and the internal HDD is maxed out, so I am looking at separating my system files to the internal HDD and my working files to an external HDD.
Before I went down this path, I wanted to see if anyone else is working like this and if they experience any performance (or any other) issues with the set-up.
Far and away the most important thing to worry about is not the physical location of the media, but the filesystems you use on it. This is probably less of a concern for Mac users, but I’ve seen tons of Windows people shoot their feet off trying to build Ionic apps on filesystems that don’t support symlinks.
I would strongly recommend enabling case sensitivity on your filesystems.
Yes its easily doable but consider a filesystem as rapropos mentioned and be weary of changing os’ on a whim I went from OSX to Linux and had to spend a day debugging mostly firebase related issues.Back on M1 now.
Also for your older Mac try to get the hang of Vite as vue cli is hard on resources.
