I recently installed Ubuntu on my laptop.
I decided to create a logical partition to store my big files (music, videos, pictures...) somewhere else than the home
folder, so I created this partition during the new Ubuntu installation process in ext4 format, using the mount-point /data
. I'll later try to redirect my Pictures
, Videos
and Documents
from /home
in this /data
folder, using symbolic links.
However, I just read an article that explains how to create a storage partition after Ubuntu installation, using GParted to mount the unused space on a /mnt/storage
folder (for example).
What's the difference between these two methods, and what do you think is the best to follow?
