[SOLVED] how do I mount a drive's directory to another directory

sunbelt57 · 02-17-2016, 12:54 AM

I have all the files that were in /home/dan/Documents in another drive because I'm running out of space
so I use this script to mount my Documents directory to that drive which has its own /Documents directory

sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb2 /home/dan/Documents

but now whenever I want to access my Documents directory, I have to go:
~/Documents/Documents

is there any way to mount just the /Documents directory of the /dev/sdb2 drive?

so mount it into another place, like:

Code:

sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb2 /home/dan/sdb2_root
and make a link:
ln -s /home/dan/sdb2_root/Documents /home/dan/Documents
