So i moved my game library off of 120 GB HDD, and onto 128 GB SSD, I did this by copy pasting the common file, and replacing it with a link. However when I reboot, the link turns into some kind of text file or something. Any way to make the link permanent?
Symlinks are normally permanent. Maybe the link is broken because the target disk is not getting mounted during boot. How are you handling mounting the SSD?
you can also add this to crontab if you have problems.
I had something like this happen a while back. Make sure your disk is getting mounted at boot.
Im going to move all my games back, format the ssd, then see if it works then. Thank you so much for the quick replies
Formatting will have no bearing on how a file is symlinked.
It might be worth telling us how you liked them. What command?
The other thing is, is this for steam? If so why don't you just add the ssd game directory to your steam path?
Formatting did the trick ._.
hmm interesting. what filesystem was it?
NTFS, i forgot to format it when i switched from windows.

Ah, makes sense, its not compatible with Linux for any serious file management.
