Is there any way to only mount a sub folder in the root of a file system?
I want to mount /Music in /dev/sda3 to ~/Music.
Is this possible or should I just create a symbolic link after mounting the entire file system.
Related: would it take more system recourses if I mount the entire file system and create a link, or is this difference not noticeable?

no I think you can mount a subfolder
EDIT : I stand corrected : you cannot do that, since Music will not be under /dev/sda3
you will have to mount the drive and then bind as andresp mentioned.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

You have to mount sda3. Then do a bind mount
mount --bind /mountpoint/Music ~/Music
