This is my first post on any linux forum. I've been using it daily for six months now and fell in love with archlinux from the moment I installed it a month ago. Thanks to everyone that contributes to arch and the wiki! I have two general questions that I've been unable to find an answer for. Probably because I don't know what exactly to search for.
What is the most appropriate method for mounting a drive that has nothing but media & personal junk?
1) Mount it under the users home directory: /home/user/data
- PROBLEM - The lost+found directory is visible. Its not terrible but is distracting when visually scanning for folder names.
2) Mount it at /mnt/data and create symbolic links in the users home directory: /home/user/music, /home/user/school, etc.
- PROBLEM - As far as I understand, an ftp user that is chrooted can't follow these links. Pretty essential for how I use the drive.
3) I was thinking maybe I could partition it and make it my home drive. I don't think that would answer the question or solve the problems though.
MPlayer is the best video player for my simple purposes I've used so far, but I hate that it alters my main system volume. VLC and Amarok both use independent volumes. Is there a way to do it in MPlayer? What is this called: audio streams? I'd be happy with VLC but for some reason it fudges up video when using the slider bar to navigate through a file. Once you select your destination the video color is reversed for a few seconds but only in dark areas. MPlayer doesn't do this at all.
