I changed my swap file to be on a extern firewire drive and after that i got two volumes on that drive. I called the drive Area so now i got Area/ and Area 1/
It works and seems ok but i cant access Area 1/ with cd or ls etc. In finder its no problem.
Area/ is where the .vm is.
Area 1/ i got my files.
Anyone now if it should be like this?
 
I'm just guessing about this but I know that Mac OS X uses a special file system architecture to store various parts of the filesystem. Maybe because you moved the VM file it's done something to your volume.

Try:
shell> diskutil list

...and see what pops up for your drive.
 
I think it should be like this.. i could access the directories by doing cd 'Area 1' so no problem. UFS? I think Macos extended i faster if i rember right. UFS is old and slow and if you dont need to access it from other os, then i thin macos extended is te way to go.
