link directories on mac osx
i have tried several times for linking directories in mac osx with ln -s — without success.
i have always done only one thing wrong — i have added a slash behind the target dir. ln wants to add a new file instead of a directory — while linking! The new file appears as a linked dir (alias)!
how NOT to:
ln -s /Volumes/source/ /Users/user/Movies/target
how to:
ln -s /Volumes/source/ /Users/user/Movies/target

What is that for?
If you are using FrontRow for example, it is not able to read movies from an external (USB) Drive. So you have to mount / link it to the movies dir in your home.
If you are using dropbox for backup your files, you have not to move all your files into the dropbox dir.
