Dear all,

We implemented a system using soft-links to link user-directories to NFS shares in order to import/link datasets that are larger than 2GB (through links to data-libraries) and provide our users with longer term storage space for their analyses.
This worked fine for Galaxy version 17.09...and stopped working for Version 18.05.

An example can be seen here in the folder (the path to this folder will vary between installations): /opt/galaxy/galaxy/database/files

lrwxrwxrwx 1 galaxy W190-htseq-bioinf 28 Sep 11 12:37 christopher.previti@dkfz-heidelberg.de -> /galaxy-clients/w190_galaxy/

Setting the proper rights allows users to link files from the nfs data-share make available under /galaxy-clients (in this case the share is called "w190_galaxy")
directly into a data-library (with the approriate rights).

Would anybody have an idea why this doesn't work anymore in v18.05?
Is it a galaxy.ini configuration issue?

Thanks for any advise you could provide!

Christopher
