					<description><![CDATA[Hi, I have the following situation:
&lt;pre&gt;
$ sudo fdisk -l
&lt;/pre&gt;
Disk /dev/sda: 1,82 TiB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors
Disk model: ST2000DM001-1ER1
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 9FED7901-45C1-4954-BF97-98F47C14FD92

Dispositivo   Start       Fine    Settori  Size Tipo
/dev/sda1      2048    1026047    1024000  500M BIOS boot
/dev/sda2   1026048 3907028991 3906002944  1,8T Linux filesystem

Disk /dev/sdb: 29,82 GiB, 32017047552 bytes, 62533296 sectors
Disk model: SAMSUNG SSD CM85
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt

Dispositivo    Start     Fine  Settori  Size Tipo
/dev/sdb1       2048 46878719 46876672 22,4G Linux filesystem
/dev/sdb2   46878720 62531583 15652864  7,5G Linux swap

Disk /dev/zram0: 8 GiB, 8589934592 bytes, 2097152 sectors

Sector size (logical/physical): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes


namely:
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A 1.8T disk (sda) on which there is boot (sda1) and backup of the old /home I had in fedora 33 (sda2).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A disk of about 30 G with linux (sdb1) swap (sdb2).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
This is the situation after I made the upgrade to Fedora35 with the new home on the small disk.

I would like to mount the /home on the big disk following your instructions above, but the big disk already has data on it, the file system of the old /home. How do I proceed not to lose everything?

Thank you for your help in advance]]></description>

Nice, but if I click on &quot;&lt;strong&gt;send to&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; it just sends it to my email client, there is no other options, it is fine.

All of my pictures, downloads, music, documents, and videos are stored on their own SSD so I thought I could make these the defaults instead of the default ones on my NVME where the operating system is.]]></description>

Sorry, something went wrong there on two lines:

&quot;I went to /home//&quot; should read &quot;I went to /home/my-home-directory/&quot; and, &quot;use the command&quot; should read &quot;use the command ln &quot;]]></description>

@Jason, what Ravi said, and

In file manager (I am using Devuan) I went to &lt;strong&gt;/home//&lt;/strong&gt;.

There I right-clicked on Documents and got four options under &quot;Send to&quot;:
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Desktop (create link)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;120Gb drive (a spare drive I have on the system)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Data composition&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mail recipient&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
Your system or file manager may not have exactly those options but I am sure that something like them will be available.

If you want to simply link a file then you may use the command from the command line.]]></description>

@Jason,

You can use File Manager to do the same in Linux as well...]]></description>
