<![CDATA[How to change cookies (and cache) location to encrypted partition]]>Hi,

I have encrypted partition (LUKS) mounted in fstab (password is at boot time). I would like to move cookies and cache location to dir on this partition. How to change this?

Edit: In fact I would like to keep everything (history etc) on that partition

Regards

The order is wrong 🙂

Create symlink: ln -s /home/(USER)/.config/opera pathtofolderonencrypted_partition

I think you mixed the order; it should first be the target, then the link name (including the path to it).

EDIT: First now I see you answered your own question, but I guess this info can be useful for other users 😉

  • Close Opera
  • Copy your current /home/(USER)/.config/opera to encrypted destination
  • Wipe / shred /home/(USER)/.config/opera
  • Create symlink: ln -s /home/(USER)/.config/opera path_to_folder_on_encrypted_partition
  • Run Opera
