I implemented the home folders to symlinks to my data partition based on a previous video where you mentioned it. Did it manually. Great tip.

Re: Video: My Home Folder Setup (and Disk Manager)
Another good video, D_O, and that's a great script. I use almost exactly the same symlinked data system and setting it up on each new install takes me longer than your whole video.
Not any more! I will adapt that script straight away.

Great video, D_O.
Would it be possible to post the whole text of your script with all the various options?
I probably won't use the symlink method since I automount my Data partition and directly download/save stuff to its folders from all my distros. But the other commands you have in your script look intriguing.

Re: Video: My Home Folder Setup (and Disk Manager)
here's the script
I have some commented notes in there as well, like for the fstab options line for my datapartition and the option for the intel wireless led to stop blinking constantly. Those aren't commands, just options I keep so everything I need for setup stays together.

Re: Video: My Home Folder Setup (and Disk Manager)
I have a very similar approach, the only difference is that I don't use a NTFS partition (not really a Windows user) also I have much of my stuff in Dropbox so I have a bunch of symlinks from there.
