First, you will have to mount the second partition somewhere. Lets assume you have mounted it at /disk2. Then the source folder would be /disk2/www/from-linux. The target folder is /www.

With the ln command you can create a link; ls -s source target. So, in this example:

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s /disk2/www/from-linux /www

sudo is needed in this case, because you are creating a folder in the root (/) folder and you are not normally allowed to do that. Also, you of course first need to remove any existing /www folder.

With the above command, the folder /www would be a link (shortcut if you will) and going there will actually show you the files that are stored at /disk2/www/from-linux.
