ok, well I wanted to avoid that if all possible anyway, tried this ln -s /var/www/download /home/steve/public_html but when I try to copy a file into /var/www/download I get no space left on device. thats creating a symbolic link from download directory (which has no space left) to a directory that has 280 gig free in it. did I do something incorrectly? - -- Steve Reilly http://reillyblog.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJQa3z8ltKtLpsP3URAp6WAJ0cgbDI1ArUDf9ehFBNMnQK24zHIwCgmonI gByn+tTSBaTTtuvzjr36x+E= =IiHO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
