Permissions on /Data and its content (imgs) should be same as uploads folder.
“What I am trying to do is move the wp-uploads folder to that partition too.”
Why? To what end?
>>Why? To what end?
Guessing here …
/Data is larger
/Data backed up and restore separately
permissions
auto expand partition if required
access these images from other applications
safely read-only mount just /data for others to access images
and so on…
Ahhh… I see.
Probably the same basic thing I accomplish by using Logical Volume Management. Makes sense… I guess. Although, I can’t think of a good reason why you would want to allow other applications access to resources in “web accessible” directories not located within their own root directory confines… But we all have our peccadilloes. As long as it works for you! 🙂

Yes 123milliseconds, you are right Data is larger and gets backed up separately. I don’t want to access these images from any other application but wordpress.
If the images in the post are being resized and you are using Timthumb, they will never show up using either an external link or virtual link… that’s the only thing I can think of…

So I guess no one has the answer to this?
I’m guessing these instructions might imply that although you can use them to move /wp-content, /wp-content is assumed to still be located inside of your web accessible directory.
I would have to guess that a symlink…
[example] ln -s /Data/wp-content /var/www/html/wp-content
..might fail because of the settings in wp-config.php. But that’s strictly an un-qualified guess. I don’t know if there is something creative you can do with wp-config to make it work, or not.
