Hi Derrick,

We did that a year ago, while changing the mount point as

part of setting up a shared file system between our Galaxy

node and a cluster. Naturally we did a backup first, but I

don't recall any issues from this. At the time Nate just advised
not to have any jobs running at the time (and stop Galaxy of
course).

Hi Shantanu,

We are facing the same situation that migrating galaxy dataset to a new location is needed. I am wondering if you have done it successfully? Would be nice if you can share your experience with us.

Cheers,

D

We are planning to change datasets directory location (file_path setting in universe_wsgi.ini) in our Galaxy installation. We will be moving existing datasets to the new directory location and updating XSendfile setting in Apache as well.  I was wondering if there are any side effects that we should be considering before making this change. There are certain fields in the database (e.g. command_line in jobs table) which contain absolute path of datasets. Do we need to update any of these fields to make sure Galaxy is functional after file_path is changed?
