I was looking at the configuration files for my mail client, and i didn't notice an entry that tells it where to download the inbox .... I would like to store my mail on an SD card so I'm not using up my preciouse internal flash --- I might be able to do it with a symlink -> but can't I just set up slypheed to dl straight to the Sd card instead of tricking it ?

any tips?

I did this with a symlink - I created a folder called Mail on /mnt/card and symlinked ~/Mail to it.

I did the same with ~/Documents and that makes upgrades/reflashes much easier.

I moved my whole home dir to SD, but I've got a lot of problem with simple symlinking, so if you decided you want to use andrewwoods' solution, you can do something similar:

Code: [Select]

mount -o bind /mnt/card/myhome /home/root

I don't understand the syntax ->

mount -o bind

What exactly is that doing? I think a symlink would be easier than mounting / unmounting (especially during suspends) .. but how is this method better? I don't yet understand exactly what it's doing.
