Move folder to other location
 
Hello,

is it possible, for example, to move folder:
/var/log/

to the location
/media/card/log


So any programm which write to /var/log is now wrinting to /media/card/log

I know with mount I can mount a folder to a partition. But I need several different folder at /media/card which ist mounted from mmcblk0p1

Thank you!

Open /etc/fstab in your text editor, and add this line:
Code:
/media/card/log  /var/log/  none bind
Save the file and exit the editor, then:
Code:
sudo mount -a

I think there are many older and newer programs that will try to write to /var. Not sure you can change it on that side. You might be able to copy or move contents based on some script. An idea at this. https://unix.stackexchange.com/quest...rent-directory
