Currently getting my first media server set up, and I’m wondering what the best directory would be for all the stored files. For reference, I’m working with Ubuntu server to follow the guide I’m using.

Mainly, I’m wondering if I should migrate /home/ to my RAID array, or leave /home/ where it is and create a new directory on the RAID array. Currently the server will just be for my use, but might expand it for others to use

    Oh I see, you mean you mount the NAS storage into /home?

      Not quite - He’s saying to mount the NAS under /mnt/ and to create a symlink under /home/ to go directly to /mnt/nas/photos

      If you’re on KDE Plasma / Dolphin, this can be done here:

      and put something like this in there

      This will create a folder that goes directly to /mnt/nas/pictures, but you can put it anywhere.
