Createing a symbolic link/2 seperate files sytems

[dman7777777]

I want to create symbolic link to a text file in my home directory and I want to place the link in /etc/filename. But I keep getting a "/home/darin/test and /etc/yo are located on different file systems".

What Does this mean that /home/darin/ and /etc/yo are on two seperate logical volumes or two sepearate volume groups?

And how do I overcome this?

You're attempting to hard-link, so the system complains, as that is only possible inside one filesystem

try ln [red]-s[/red]

[tt]cd /this/file/system/path
ln [red]-s[/red] /other/file/system/path/otherfilename thisfilename
ls -l thisfilename[/tt]

See the "thisfilename -> " symlink info?



HTH,
