Hi Judy.

Hmmmm…not sure I am completely following but here’s a shot. If you mkdir /myfoldername it is going to create the folder under the root, system drive.

If you created another data partition you would need to make the directory on that mountpoint. So if you mounted the new data partition as /data/ then you would mkdir /data/myfoldername.

Blessings to you.

Thanks for this guide- it is working great! I have what I think is a really dumb question, but can not seem to find it addressed anywhere.
Using your method I have a small partition for “system files” and then a large one that comprises the rest of the disk… My question is – How do I make sure that only system files go on the small partion?
If I were to just do the command mkdir /myfoldername where would this go? How do I make sure it goes on the larger partition? Thanks in advance.
