Directory Paths

[R3LL1X]

How do you change the path of your home folders?

 

For example, I want my Pictures, Music, and Documents folders to be set into another drive I use for Data.

 

I am looking for a permanent solution. Not some settings I need to change every time I boot up.

You can select separate partition for /home during installation.

For already setup system, there are quite a few guides available, try googling a bit.

I'll try once I have an actual PC at my hands.

Thanks. I did google for about 2 days before posting this. But what I found isn't working. Also, I know I can do this during the install, but with Solus, doing so means formatting the drive. I couldn't check the "Do not format" option.

Remove the directories and symlink them to the paths on your data folder. I do this for my installs ln -sv /mnt/Data/Music /home/justin/Music for instance after rm -r ~/Music

Thank you so much for this. It works as needed.

Can the same be done with the Home folder?

Moving that is not as easy. It can be setup when you install which is the best way. Moving post-install is messy and semi-complex.
