Very non-standard, but it'll work.
Once that's done, delete ( yep, delete ) /var/snd altogether.
rmdir /var/snd
Now link the 1.4T /home/snd partition in place.
You can't make hard links across systems, so
ln -s /home/snd /var/snd
I have done exactly this on more than one system, and it does indeed work.
My preference these days is to go buy a 250 GB solid state drive and
install Rivendell on that, leaving the 1.5 TB for just audio files. I then
create a startup.sh script in /root which maps the 1.5 TB drive to
/var/snd and have root run the script on reboot via a cron job.
In addition to mapping the drive to /var/snd, the startup script can do
things like starting x11vnc to enable remote desktop access.
The reason I don't use /etc/fstab to map the audio drive is that if the
drive cannot be mounted for some reason, the machine will not boot and I
can't troubleshoot it remotely.

Check the permissions on /home/snd
/var/snd being a symlink is going to show incorrectly, but the files
that are apparently in it will show correctly.
