[ome-users] Expanding binary repository across multiple drives?

[Burkhard Höckendorf]

Hi all,

this is my first mail to the list, so first of all I would like to ask 
whether there is a FAQ that I should read. I didn't find anything and 
the archive seems browsable, but non-searchable.

I have just started an OMERO server and I am really happy about it. 
Great tool, thanks for working on this!

Here are my questions:
We will have to expand the space for the binary repository at some 
point. What is the best way to do this? As far as I understand we can 
add another drive to the server, create an additional repository on that 
drive and access it through a separate server instance, although both 
servers would be running on the same physical machine.

Is it also possible to access both repositories through the same server 
instance? If so, would the 2 repositories be independent such that every 
dataset completely resides in only one of them, and inavailability of 
one repo wouldn't affect the datasets in the other? Is there an 
alternative way that I'm missing?

Thanks and best wishes,
Burkhard
