I basically stumbled upon a problem I need help with.
I mounted a HDD. In my /home folder I created several symlinks that point to folders on that HDD. Unfortunately I am unable to create the symlink for the Videos folder, however all other folders worked fine.
This is what I did
- sudo mkdir /mnt/md0_crypt
- sudo chown me:me /mnt/md0_crypt
- sudo chmod 700 /mnt/md0_crypt
- nano /etc/fstab:
UUID=LONG-NUMBER /mnt/md0_crypt ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,nofail,exec,auto,nouser,async,relatime 0 0
- Reboot
rm -r -f /home/me/Musikrm -r -f /home/me/Videosln -s /mnt/md0_crypt/me/Musik /home/me/Musikls -s /mnt/md0_crypt/me/Videos /home/me/Videos
When I try to create the Videos symlink it fails
ls: Access to '/home/me/Videos' not possible: File or directory not found/mnt/md0_crypt/me/ videos:0 in total
I used chmod 700, because I want to be the only user that has access to the mounted HDD. I don't know if I forgot something, mount related..
Interestingly I get this:
>>>ls -l /mnt/md0_crypt/me total 52drwx------ 13 me me 20480 25. Okt 2019 Musikdrwxr-xr-x 2 me me 4096 21. Jul 20:12 Videos
