ln is your friend :)

  mkdir /common/user1
  ln -s /common/user1 /home/user1/extra_space

NAME
       ln - make links between files

SYNOPSIS
       ln [OPTION]... TARGET [LINK_NAME]
       ln [OPTION]... TARGET... DIRECTORY
       ln [OPTION]... --target-directory=DIRECTORY TARGET...

DESCRIPTION
       Create  a  link  to  the  specified TARGET with optional LINK_NAME.  If
       LINK_NAME is omitted, a link with the same basename as  the  TARGET  is
       created in the current directory.  When using the second form with more
       than one TARGET, the last argument must be a directory;   create  links
       in  DIRECTORY  to  each TARGET.  Create hard links by default, symbolic
       links with --symbolic.  When creating  hard  links,  each  TARGET  must
       exist.

       Mandatory  arguments  to  long  options are mandatory for short options
       too.
