Thanks for suggestion. I was hoping to have my tool dependencies folder sit alongside some other folders on a /data/ mount though. Now after some searching related to your mount idea, I'm seeing "mount --bind" as a possible solution ... anyone use this approach? Something like: mv /home/galaxy/tool_dependencies /data/irida/data/tool_dependencies mkdir /home/galaxy/tool_dependencies mount -o bind /data/irida/data/tool_dependencies /home/galaxy/tool_dependencies Regards, Damion Hsiao lab, BC Public Health Microbiology & Reference Laboratory, BC Centre for Disease Control 655 West 12th Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, V5Z 4R4 Canada ________________________________________ From: Will Holtz [wholtz@lygos.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2015 11:10 AM To: Dooley, Damion Cc: galaxy-dev@lists.bx.psu.edu Subject: Re: [galaxy-dev] galaxy.ini tool_dependency_dir change Can you move the folder to a new drive, but mount that new drive at the same place within the filesystem? -Will
