[SOLVED]Symlink /home/hts DIR to /media/user/2TB/hts

#1 Post by 1byte »

I have 2 HDD in my OptiPlex9020M
sdb is internal M-SATA M.2 SSD WDC_WDS120G1G0B running 4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.82-1+deb9u3 (2018-03-02) x86_64 GNU/Linux
sda is internal SATA-0 HDD STDR2000100/ST2000LM007 to store multimedia from TVHeadEnd on it.

I have Installed TVHeadEnd (4.2.6-7~g561355130) that created /home/hts

Moved it to /media/user/2TB:

Code: Select all

sudo mv /home/hts/*  /media/user/2TB
Created Symlink:

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s /media/user/2TB /home/hts
sudo chown -R hts:hts /media/user/2TB

But it show the symlink in RED color

Code: Select all

$ l /home
total 4
1703967 lrwxrwxrwx 1 hts    hts      15 May 18 14:32 hts -> /media/user/2TB
1703938 drwxr-xr-x 9 user user 4096 May 17 19:44 user

Code: Select all

$ l /media/user/
total 4
2 drwxr-xr-x 6 hts hts 4096 May 18 14:31 2TB


But if I try cd /home/hts

Code: Select all

$ cd /home/hts
-bash: cd: /home/hts: No such file or directory

All working now, I have moved the whole DIR /home/hts/ rather than only the files inside

sudo mv /home/hts/ /media/user/2TB
sudo ln -s /media/user/2TB/hts /home/hts
sudo chown -R hts:hts /home/hts
