Linking a directory to another partition?

[DiscipleDOC]

Is there a way that I can link my cache directory (/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/) to another directory or partition? I've cleaned that directory, and I am still getting "No space left on devce" error message....

I got this when I did a df -h:

You can either symlink it or actually create a new mount for it.

To symlink to /dev/sdb3 I'd do this.

mkdir -p /media/sdb3/apt_archives
cp -av /var/cache/apt/archives/* /media/sdb3/apt_archives
rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives
ln -s /var/cache/apt/archives /media/sdb3/apt_archives

Ok...this didn't work. I linked it, but it is still putting these files in the /var/cache/apt/ location.

How can I mount this on a different partition?
