Hi,
I have a running galaxy instance with 500GB+ datasets. Since the database folder is becoming to large for its current disk, I'm trying to migrate everything to a bigger location.
I've Rsynced the database folder to its new location and edited all needed variables in galaxy.ini.
However, after a reboot, galaxy still goes looking for all files in their old location, it even loads the old configuration for the location of the files, before it even reads the galaxy.ini file.
galaxy.objectstore DEBUG 2016-02-04 09:31:26,639 Loading backends for distributed object store from primary galaxy.objectstore DEBUG 2016-02-04 09:31:26,639 Loaded disk backend 'files1' with weight 1 and file_path: /Shared/galaxy-data/database/files1 galaxy.objectstore DEBUG 2016-02-04 09:31:26,640 Extra directories: galaxy.objectstore DEBUG 2016-02-04 09:31:26,640 job_work: /Shared/galaxy-data/database/job_working_directory1 galaxy.objectstore DEBUG 2016-02-04 09:31:26,640 temp: /Shared/galaxy-data/database/tmp1 galaxy.objectstore DEBUG 2016-02-04 09:31:26,641 Loaded disk backend 'files2' with weight 1 and file_path: /Shared/galaxy-data/database/files2 galaxy.objectstore DEBUG 2016-02-04 09:31:26,641 Extra directories: galaxy.objectstore DEBUG 2016-02-04 09:31:26,642 job_work: /Shared/galaxy-data/database/job_working_directory2 galaxy.objectstore DEBUG 2016-02-04 09:31:26,642 temp: /Shared/galaxy-data/database/tmp2 galaxy.app DEBUG 2016-02-04 09:31:26,643 Using "galaxy.ini" config file: /home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/config/galaxy.ini
help..? please? I'm tracking the galaxy master brach managed by supervisor on Ubuntu 14.04.3.
Hi Matthias
Not a solution to your problem, but a workaround: What about having a sym-link in place to point from the old location to the new one?

Hi Hans-Rudolf,
That's a good workaround, but a workaround nontheless, (we've already fixed it that way). I kinda hoped there would be some kind of migration script to edit the objectstore entries to point to the new path.
Thanks anyway!
Matthias
