I would like to store all the 'working' data on an USB drive. So I can unplug it and use it on another machine, having all the 'working' data ready.I don't think it is a good idea to change the home directory permanently to the USB drive, since it may not be plugged in. What I'm looking for is a command I can enter in the shell, which will work for the current shell session.

as root:mount --bind /media/usbdrive /home/you
