Symlinking not working with LL3.0
#2
I haven't messed with LL3 yet, but can't imagine that symlinking would work any differently on it.  Have a feeling you're probably just making a small mistake somewhere along the line.  Have a look at brief recap below to see if you missed any steps and retry if you realize you did.

Brief recap of steps to symlink:
  • make sure you've set-up system to auto-mount the data partition
  • make folders on the data partition (eg. Documents, Music, Pictures, etc.)
  • make sure you've deleted folders in /home/mike that have same names as those in data partition that you're symlinking
  • structure of command will be to symlink from the data partition to your home (see example below)
Code:
ln -s /mnt/DATA/Documents /home/mike
NOTE:  command ends with "/home/mike", not "/home/mike/Documents".



If you still have problem, post back full output of these terminal commands:
Code:
sudo blkid -o list
cat /etc/fstab
ls -l ~
ls -l /mnt/DATA
NOTE:  If your mount point for the data partition is not "/mnt/DATA", change to your correct mount point in last command.
