Hi Samira,<div><br></div><div>In the future, please send questions to the <a href="mailto:midas@public.kitware.com">midas@public.kitware.com</a> email address, and you will get a faster (and possibly better) response. </div>
<div><br></div><div>In Midas we have the notion of Asset Stores, which are filesystem locations where Midas will store a file. As long as your application server can see a mounted filesystem, you can use that location as an Asset Store. In other words, if you can mount the data server's file system onto the application server then you can use that path as your Asset Store.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In the Administration menu (under the dropdown from your username when you are logged in as an Administrative user), in the Assetstores tab, you can create a new Asset Store, point the path to wherever the mounted path is on the application server, set it as "Managed by MIDAS", then save the new Asset Store. Then set that new Asset Store as the default. Be sure that the permissions of the path you set allow for writing by the Apache user.</div>
<div><br></div><div>You can have Midas owned/uploaded files saved across multiple different Asset Stores, so if you decide later that the given mount point is full and want to add a new Asset Store, just add the new Asset Store and set that as the default. Midas files that had been saved in the old Asset Store will still be available, and any new files will get saved to the new Asset Store.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I hope this is clear, let me know if you have further questions.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Mike</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Aug 22, 2012 at 8:48 PM, Samira <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:samiras@ece.ubc.ca" target="_blank">samiras@ece.ubc.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>
