Partitons in Linux

  • 772

I have switched to Ubuntu for about a year. when i used windows,... i didn't use to have different partition for movies/photos and i used to library folders in C:\ and so it was fine for me when i only created /home partition while installing Ubuntu and when its down, i just moved my movies to /home/user/Videos and photos and documents to /home/user/Pictures .../Documents and ... . but in this past year who ever i invited to Ubuntu said that they are using different partitions for movies/pictures/documents/music and they don't want to use directories for that. so my question is can we create something like /home but only for movies, i mean only a different and empty partition that mounts like a Usb or hard? please help me with that so i can increase Gnu/Linux users in my family :)

    You can create partition using gparted.

    Install it from terminal:

    sudo apt install gparted

    and then you can move free space from your disk creating new partitions each one dedicated for videos, photos, documents or whatever you want.

    Then you can mount partitions as a subdirectories of /media directly using a file manager.
