want to mount /var to from an USB SSD

[Janos Szigetvari]

Dear Members,

 

I want to play around with docker on my NanoPI R4S, and while doing that I don't want to kill my micro SD card.

For this reason I connected a USB SSD, formatted it with ext4 and mounted it onto /data.

Now, I want /var to use /data/var as a bind mount, in order to lessen the burden on the SD card the system is running on.

What is the right way to achieve this with Armbian?

 

Thanks!

Janos

Wouldn't it be easier to simply adjust the data root of Docker instead of messing with /var directly?
