Long ago when I setup my Linux server, I installed the OS on a rather small SSD having intended on keeping all the large data on NAS drives.
I didn't realize my /opt folder would get so large. It is on the small SSD.
Is there a simple way for me to "remap" that folder so that i don't have to go make any changes in programs that may reference it, but so that it is now physically residing on my larger drive?
Sorry if this is a dumb Q. I know a very narrow scope regarding Ubuntu :)
/opt
, or use a symbolic link as described here Move /opt to a different, already existing drive or a bind mount – steeldriver Mar 01 '18 at 01:11ln
That way you can have some applications as part of the system and others that might not be there if the NAS is out. – jdwolf Mar 01 '18 at 04:36
