In the end I simplified things and used more or less the partition system you have, i.e. without separate /home partitions
I have a question about 'binding' - I think I've made a mistake somewhere.
This is the content the upstart job, copied & pasted from the file "bind-home.conf" that I set up...
# Remount partitions with bind
#
description "Bind DATA Partition Subdirectories to My Home Directory"
start on stopped mountall
script
mount --bind /mnt/DATA/Documents /home/m-ll2/Documents
mount --bind /mnt/DATA/Downloads /home/m-ll2/Downloads
mount --bind /mnt/DATA/Linux ISOs /home/m-ll2/Linux ISOs
mount --bind /mnt/DATA/Music /home/m-ll2/Music
mount --bind /mnt/DATA/Photos family /home/m-ll2/Photos family
mount --bind /mnt/DATA/Photos general /home/m-ll2/Photos general
mount --bind /mnt/DATA/Pictures /home/m-ll2/Pictures
mount --bind /mnt/DATA/Public /home/m-ll2/Public
mount --bind /mnt/DATA/Templates /home/m-ll2/Templates
mount --bind /mnt/DATA/TV /home/m-ll2/TV
mount --bind /mnt/DATA/Videos /home/m-ll2/Videos
mount --bind /mnt/DATA/VirtualBox VMs /home/m-ll2/VirtualBox VMs
mount --bind /mnt/DATA/Wallpapers /home/m-ll2/Wallpapers
end script
After I've created the upstart job, should I be doing anything else, e.g. with the terminal? I have just rebooted after saving & closing the above file. I get this message in the terminal whenever I open, save and close the above file....(gedit:2270): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/m-ll2/.config/ibus/bus is not root! ...maybe there is a problem here.
What should I see when I reboot & open the '/home' folder? I don't see the DATA folder , when I open the File Manager.
The 13 folders in the above .conf file have been created in the subfolder 'DATA' within the folder 'mnt', as I saw them under file system (there is also an additional one called lost+found there).
Many thanks for any help on this.
Regards
Mike
