Yeah, that looks like it could work, or even something as simple as a symbolic link to the new directory location should be fine.

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

Can you move the folder to a new drive, but mount that new drive at the same place within the filesystem?
