I routinely place /home on its own partition. Its structure resembles: /home/richard ├── Desktop ├── Documents ├── Downloads ├── Notebooks └── PicturesMy questions: 1. Can I have /home/richard/Downloads bed on its own partition?
Yes. The only thing to consider is that they are mounted in correct order i.e. first /home/richard then /home/richard/Downloads.
Alternatively, you could mount them at independent times by using a mountpoint outside of /home/richard (e.g. /media/richards_downloads) and having `Downloads` as a symbolic link pointing to the mountpoint of choice (`ln -s /media/richards_downloads Downloads`).
2. How could I have found the answer?
By trying it out :) If you do it wrongly, it yields "mountpoint does not exist" or similar. If you do it correctly, it "just works".
