So I'm a dual-booter. I'm looking for an easy way to keep up-to-date symlinks in my Linux home folder pointing to every file and folder in the root of Windows personal directory.
So, say I have foo.txt and bar.txt in C:\Windows\Documents and Settings\Nathaniel. I want symlinks of those files to automatically be made in /home/nathaniel/ (while I'm running Linux, of course).
Why not just make a symlink between the Nathaniel\Home directory and Users\Nathaniel directory (assuming your computer username for both OSs is your superuser username, obviously)? – Daniel H – 2009-12-31T04:59:52.397
But this way the whole folder would show up as a symlink, if I read you right. It would show up as /home/nathaniel/nathaniel, wouldn't it? Not quite what I want. – Nathaniel – 2009-12-31T06:12:26.803
No, it would just be /home/nathaniel, but if Ubuntu and Windows name the folders different things, it wouldn't work. – Daniel H – 2010-01-01T00:28:55.400
Turns out putting your home directory on NTFS is a dangerous thing to do. Nice thing is I didn't try it, but found out first. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=901127 . Guess I'll be sticking with the auto-symlink idea.
