i think

The only thing I will lose is anything outside home/nachi/(documents,downloads,code,pictures,videos,music)

Which is configuration

the better way is to swhitch to LVM

Not important data

Eh I'm not sure what that would do to my freebsd

the enitre LVM thing could exist on many disc regardless the way they connected

What would be the point

it would be easer and safer to operate with your data

and without those manual links and mounts

it would be easer and safer to operate with your data

At the cost of me not being able to access those folders on freebsd

Which is why I needed links to a different drive rather than simply mounting the drive as /home

freebsd can work with that thing

Hmm

Wouldn't I still need to link my home directories to the partition / mount

You can move .config directory to the separate small partition so it will be able to mount on boot in /home/username/.config

for example...

without complicated system of links

And 850pros, last time they were tested, did 2 petabytes written.

There are more . folders i don't want to conflict than there are folders I want to save and be common

I have what, 6 softlinks

Vs .session, .config. ....

/report

Thanks.

/report doesn’t work here though.

Yet he give No Spam Rules, but spamming on others group

Yeah, I noticed :P

It's just baaad In alternative you can write script which gathers/copies/replaces dot folders

This is more of what I didn't understand

It's unsafe and the growth of their number will start big mess

one little mistake in config linking might break something and it would be not that obvious to debug

That's just the thing, it cant

Because the kind of data I have linked to the other partition is not configuration

Its documents, music, source code and so on

Nothing in the system depends on that data

As for using softlinks I can use mount --bind instead for something a bit stronger and put those lines in my fstab

The alternative you are suggesting is 20+ partitions for each dotfolder

If I understood correctly

That's far more complex even if they are lvm partitions

so... for independent data you want to safe it would make sence to place it to defferent partition..

Also it's nice to have a common place to put all the things I use and work on such as documents, that is linked to every os I use

there is no point to use links in this case f you just can automount directory with docs and dont even bother any more

yes thats what i was doing first

/data/Pictures /home/nachi/Pictures auto defaults,nofail,nobootwait,bind 0 2

this was my fstab example

problem is nautilus sees it as a partition

so i get this nonsense

links are the best of both worlds

no ugly nautilus entries, same principle effect

lol it's same on KDE Plasma with Dolphin

yup and thats why i use softlinks now

problem is nautilus sees it as a partition

use nfs

use nfs

why

i dont need network access

im sorry

fstab needs path to device, not path to the directory

Guys I have an SSD and a HD , I installed fedora on the SSD but have low space (120gb) , is there someway that I can use my HD as something like /home2 like in windows with C) and D) drive

Yes, but mount it in /mnt/name instead.

ERROR: S client not available

just add an entry into fstab for it and it'll be mounted, on boot.

Unless its ntfs, then dont.

Can u help me with that Tobias?

I never did it

Can u help me with that Tobias?

What are the file systems on that hdd?

Or is there none yet? do you dual boot?

No

It’s vfat

My SSD is /dev/sdb and my HD is /dev/sda

So fat32 or ntfs? Please show the output of lsblk

Alright

gparted?

That makes sense. Is there any important data on sda?

No

I cleaned with cfdisk

Okay, lets get xfs on there then.

Erm.. no install needed.

Nah, mist widely chosen :P

I never used it

mkfs.xfs /dev/sda1 THAT WILL DELETE ALL DATA ON SDA1

Done

sudo mkdir /mnt/data

Done

sudo chown -R username:username /mnt/data

sudo nano /etc/fstab

Done

Opened

Nah, mist widely chosen :P

I learnt that it has higher performance... hmm..
