Displaying folder contents in another folder

[jmadero]

Is there a way to essentially make all of one folders content as a system link in another folder (I have "My Documents" on my external and my computer, they have different things, I'd like to have one "My Documents" which shows both contents and hide the other two. Thanks all

Since no one is responding. I'll throw in my uneducated 2 cents. My post might not be relevant in your case, I know.

I run AntiX 8.5 on 2 SSDs on my Asus EEEPC 900 4gig/16gig. Mepis installer has no way of recognizing 2nd drive when installing home so home had to go 4 gig SSD on install. I then had to make another /home folder on the 16gig drive and symlink /home on the 4 gig drive to the /home on the 16 gig drive.

Maybe a symlink with the original folder permissions set only to be changed/edited by
root user is the way to go. If I am way off base jmadero. Then sorry.

At least I bumped your thread.

Hi,
you could create a LVM, but to do this you have to format...

As I understand it, you want a new folder with the mix contents of other two folders.

If it is that, the short answer is no (what would be done if the folders have the same filename with different contents?).

But
* You can create a symlink on your computer folder to the external folder and vice versa (creating a subfolder), I guess you know that
or
* You can synchronize both folders, making that having the same content. I use subversion for some contents, rsync for others.

Sorry if I didn't get your question
