I've run into a problem this week where all my home directory permissions/ACLs got screwed up, and I came across an article that said this is happening frequently in Mavericks. The preferred method for fixing this is to go into recovery mode (command + r) when booting, and run Reset Password from terminal. We basically have Unibeast as the recovery mode, but I came across this thread http://www.tonymacx86.com/wiki/index.php/UniBeast from 2 1/2 years ago that shows how to install a recovery partition, should you not have a USB drive large enough. It hasn't been updated for Mavericks, and I was wondering if it still applies.
Also, if it does, would it show up in the boot loader, or do you need to do the Command + r command from when you boot up?
