Don't replace my Links!

[Aragorn]

My Disc ran full so i moved the /usr/local/games to /home/games which was on a different drive.
ATM it is hot as hell in here, so I decided to play a game for the 1st time in month and found that my symlink was replaced by a empty folder.
So here is a feature I would love: Stop deleting or replacing my links!!!

The proper course of action on your part would have been to use a dedicated mountpoint for /usr/local/games.

[Tip] Root filesystem nearly full but got a spare partition sitting around? Split off some stuff!

Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆ 1.

Both CP/M and MS-DOS were at the time developed for computers that did not support any other storage media than floppy disks. Considering this legacy, Microsof…
