Hello,

We have recently put a local installation of Galaxy on our network and connected it to a MYSQL database. In order to have more space available for uploaded and created files, we also changed the values of file_path  and new_file_path in the config file. The file_path field was changed to a larger, communal location. The new_file_path was changed to a directory called “tmp” in that same communal location.

This location, however, undergoes self-cleaning; deleting any files that reach 7 days old (and any directories that have no files less than 7 days old). This would include any datasets uploaded or created by Galaxy.

Can the Galaxy framework and schema handle this occurrence? Or will it cause errors to occur?
