How do I create soft link / symbolic link?
To create a symbolic link in Unix or Linux, at the shell prompt, enter the following command:
ln -s {target-filename} {symbolic-filename}
For example create a softlink for /hdd/mnt/series/ as /series:
ln -s /hdd/mnt/series /series
ls -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2012-12-19 21:18 /series -> /hdd/mnt/series/
