Thanks to advice on this list I have a reasonably stable system now, and |
2 |
it's time to get hands dirty. I have more GB of collected files than I can |
3 |
fit into my ~/ home directory, so I am planning to link several partitions |
4 |
to ~/ in an effort to organize this mass. |
5 |
|
6 |
1. How could one reasonably link a subdir of a partition as a subdir or |
7 |
folder of one's ~/, for example, /dev/sdd3/VIDEO (partition on that |
8 |
partition called VIDEO) as a subdirectory, ~/VIDEO? I want ~/VIDEO to |
9 |
behave identically as it would if it were on the same partition as ~/ . At |
10 |
least to the greatest extent possible. I have seen some arcane arrangement |
11 |
somewhere, but to what extent is that necessary to do? I would rather avoid |
12 |
having to mount the entire parition as a subdir, and then have to access, |
13 |
for example, ~/ARCHIVE/VIDEO. |
14 |
|
15 |
2. As an aside, Nautllus (~/amd64 Gnome overlay, version 2.23.5.1) behavior |
16 |
differs from that in Ubuntu. I have resisted the use of a GUI file manager |
17 |
for a long time, except for a few tasks, and especially I have avoided |
18 |
nautilus as a tool for moving files around the system. The availability of |
19 |
bookmarks in the sidepane is highly useful, however, and I've gotten used |
20 |
to it. Can I remove the display of ~/media/* from the sidepanel? This has |
21 |
enabled me to organize my system much more effectively. Thunar is more to |
22 |
my taste in this way, but nautilus has other useful features, including it |
23 |
is integrated with gnome. |
24 |
|
25 |
Thank you for any advice. Also thanks to the list for past helpful advice. |
