Getting failed message when trying to create symlinks. It seems there should be another field for the name of the symlink in this feature as well.

ln -s pathtolink nameoflink (created in destination folder)

So if you wanted /opt to be included in folder data on data disk...

ln -s /opt opt (created while in this location /media/uuid/data)

Source: /opt
Destination: /media/uuid/data
Name of symlink: opt

After which you should be able to:
cd /media/uuid/data/opt
ls -la (to see contents of opt.)

Since there are four forms you can use ln with, I picked the one I typically use (ln -s dir1 dir2/name). That is why I put folder browsers on both lines.

So, in your example, you would put:

Source: /opt
Destination: /media/uuid/data/opt

I also forgot that the php symlink function (link is created using php) isn't quite as flexible as the command line ln.

Jetzt mitmachen!
