[Question] How do I add storage locations to Lemmy?
(lemmy.basedcount.com)
Thanks!
You could just move the data to the new location and then make it a symbolic link to the new disk.
Could even be a hard link.. (some applications don't like symbolic links).
Edit: or a mount point.
Make sure to stop the application, mount the drive and link it, start the application again You have a backup? :-)
You can't do hard link to a directory, can you? Most of the time symbolic link works well, but yeah, sometimes you're gonna have to do a bind mount.
You could something like mergefs to just merge both drives together. Then you wouldn't need to add a new pathway.
