Hello everyone, My current desktop setup currently has a Debian installation on a 120GB SSD, which is mounted with both the EFI system partition and as / for my rig. I have a 3TB HDD which I had mounted as /home during install.
As my desktop case still has enough space in it, I was contemplating getting another pair of 3TB (or maybe even 4TB!) HDDs, and have them be symlinked or hard linked (whichever works better) to my ~/Music and ~/Videos folders. This setup is currently has only one user on it (my account, aside from root). I want to do this so that I have more space for my media, functioning as a backup for a NAS and for keeping larger project files for any audio and video work I do. My question is this: which is the better path to take? Symlinking or hard linking another drive to ~/Music and ~/Videos? I understand that I will need to edit /etc/fstab and all; that's fine. Just curious as to whether symlinks or hard links are the way to go. Thanks! --Robert -- Nobody's ever lost in life...they're merely taking the scenic route. ============================== Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
