creating & searching dbm's accross file systems

Post by Thunderstone »



hello,

i just recently downloaded and installed the "free version" of
"webinator". my system has two 4G hd's...one of which has a dangerously
high capacity. unfortunately this is the drive that contains our http
sub-directory. is it possible to run this software from a symbolic link
from the standard "/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs"/webinator to a second file
system "/a10/webinator" that is located on a different drive?

my os is digital UNIX v3.2.

regards,
cyn

Yes, soft links are ok. Or you could just change the full path of the database
in the search script.

One side note here. Please never attempt to NFS mount a Webinator/Texis DB.
The performance will be terrible if you do this.

Happy Walking
