Hey there, I have recently updated my media library from a relatively small external to a larger RAID array.

The files in question were on the old external at: /Volumes/Entertainment/Videos

The files are on the new RAID array at: /Volumes/MediaLibrary/Videos

I have a database of videos and metadata that points to the files on the old external. Without rebuilding or updating all the metadata in the database, is it possible to somehow redirect any access from the old path to the new path?

The caveat is that the old path no longer exists... at all.

Can you do this with Symbolic Links even though the original destination is non-existent? Are there any other options?
