I currently have a small Centos VPS which has some local SSD disk - I am getting close to my storage limit as I am storing a lot of flat files which are accessed very infrequently so I am looking at getting some NAS disk and moving the files to it as it is much cheaper than getting more SSD and will still perform just as well.The challenge is I don't want to have to update all my application references to point to a new location - is there any way I can have the current folder (lets call it /home/user/public_html/folder) pointing to a new location (for example /mnt/new_folder) without having to update anything so /folder/file.doc, ../folder/file.doc or www.example.com/folder/file.doc etc will still point to the files in question?Will a symlink allow me to do that?
