Can I store the repository on multiple drives?

If we need to expand the space for the binary repository can it spread across multiple drives? Can we have multiple repositories? What is the best way to do this?

One of our next major features will include a re-examination of the repository infrastructure to hopefully allow more than one. At the moment, however, you can only access one repository.

If you would like to access additional disk space of a new drive from the same OMERO instance, you can symlink some directories from /OMERO off to the new location. /OMERO/Pixels tends to be the largest directory, and it will contain up to 1000 files and 1000 directories. You can move any number of those on the other disk, replacing them with symlinks.
