Re: [cobalt-users] "/" filesystem quota

You have the arguments the wrong way around. It is as if you were making a copy:
ln -s existingfile newfile

I.e,.
# First move the directory
# /usr/local exists, /home/local will be new.
mv /usr/local /home/local

# Then make a link to it.
# Now /home/local exists, and /usr/local will be new.
ln -s /home/local /usr/local

If you are feeling cautious, specify ln -si

Cheers,
