I moved my home directory to a subdirectory of a second (mounted) drive using usermod -d ... -m
. Now, most programs work fine, but a few (Dropbox, etc.) do not. I believe this is because there is no /home/myuser directory any more, so programs that are hard-coded to look there fail.
Can I just create a hard link using ln -d
? It seems like hard links are problematic, and I'm not even sure if I can create them across disks anyhow. But I'd like to get this sorted out soon.
