Hi everyone,
I've got two partitions on my HDD, one for my data in Fat32 and another one in ext4 for the system. What I would like to do is creating symbolic links between the folders of my home and the folders in my data partition, and like this, when I go in the folder music for example in my home, it open actually the folder "music" of the other partition. So I tried with the 'ln -s' command, but it doesn't work well.
For example when I open the music folder in my home, I have a shortcut which points to the folder of my other partition. How to do for having directly the contents of my other folder in my music folder of my /home when I open it ?
Furthermore, the partition isn't automatically mounted when I try to use the shortcuts created. I need before to mount the partition in clicking on it in the file manager.

Thanks for help.

Hi

You will have to add an entry in /etc/fstab to get the drive to mount at boot.

Where do you mount the data partition?

Another way would be partition the data drive in to 4 or 5 partitions then you could mount each partition at "example" /dev/sdxx /home/user/Downloads

makeing enough partitions for each folder

Ok thanks, I added the following line in my fstab file :As you can see, the partition is mounted in /media/Data
I hope it's ok, I'll try tomorrow.

I prefer keep only one partition for all my data if possible..

Ok, I resolved my problem, it was actually pretty easy. I just deleted the folders music,etc in my home, and created symbolic links with 'ln -s /media/Data/Music ~/Music' (the same with others folders)
