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:NOTE: command ends with "/home/mike", not "/home/mike/Documents".
If you still have problem, post back full output of these terminal commands:
NOTE: If your mount point for the data partition is not "/mnt/DATA", change to your correct mount point in last command.
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
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
