You don't need to use ln.
- Create a directory mytharchive or a name of your choise on your
  storage drive.
- Move over the contents of /var/lib/mytharchive to your new directory
- issue: mount --bind <full path on storage> /var/lib/mytharchiv
- to make it permanent add to /etc/fstab:
      <full path on storage>   /var/lib/mytharchiv  none  bind  0 0
