I got a partition /dev/hda5 (of type vfat) and I can mount it and r/w
to it okay (even as a user).
When it is mounted, the destination folder is /mnt/files (I don't know
how to explain "destination folder" better than the folder that
receives the device data when it's mounted).
In /mnt/files I got a directory called web.
I want to have a link to that folder from my linux partition. Even
though making links works from inside my linux partition, I got a
problem making a link to that vfat partition.
Here's what I do:
$ cd ~/data
$ link web /mnt/files/web
link: cannot create link `web' to `/mnt/files/web': Invalid cross
device link.
I don't know what to do to solve that... Is there a way? If yes, what
is it?
TIA,
cmad
