Could the storage manager app allow me to mount a NAS to my main ClearOS server and use this storage for extra sub website"s to be run from a link in the main site on the main server
I would using Concete5 set up a website on the main server and use links to in this site to access a number of CRM sites which would be on the NAS
If I understand this, if mounted correctly the NAS or NAS directory would appear in the file structure of the server and all I would need would be symbolic links in var/www/html to access the files on the NAS which would be in there own directories for each instance of the CRM system installed and running ie /crm1 /crm2 /crm3 /crmmaster (a blank system so copy into new setups????
I've had a brief look at article but I'm not clear on how I would go about setting this up

I'm not sure what's up with Netatalk these days, but I did see an update go through the build system about 10 days ago:

So... something is up! -

Speaking of Dave.., and off-topic if i'm correct he's not very often visiting the forums. I posted different question, comments about Netatalk but never received a answer... I my opinion the Appletalk Server app is great but Time Machine isn't working for me. Also i like to see Flexshare integration. I now add the flexshares by hand. Another feature i really like to see is authenticate agains a ClearOS server. I'm afraid that the Apple users are in the minority and Appletalk server has a low priority... :unsure: -

Thanks Peter,
After getting a little bit of sleep, grabbing a beer, and wraping my noodle around mount points (and reading the mini-example thoroughly). Of course, not in that order :P
I was able to resolve what I wanted to do.
/sda -> everything else
/sdb-> /store/flexshares
/sdc-> /data/user
That works pretty slick its a great feature! Thank You. -

Hi, I understand that this app is still Beta, but is there going to be documentation on how to mount Multiple Hard drives and/or network drives? or was this kinda explained already and I need to get a better handle on how drives are mounted and that /storage will work all devices (sigh).
There's good documentation on how to mount drives somewhere on the Internet, it's just a matter of finding the document and linking to it :-)
By default, the Storage Manager only uses one storage target. However, you can override the "configlets" to implement multiple storage targets (e.g. storage for the web proxy on disk1, storage for Flexshare on disk2). There's a mini-example mentioned in the Configlets section of the Technical Guide. -

Thanks Peter this answers the questions in my other post
http://www.clearfoundation.com/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,232/catid,28/func,view/id,52145/
could that thread be closed and redirected here as this looks like it will do exactly what I wanted.
One more question will this app allow me to put a MSQL database on the NAS, thinking here is when virtualisation arrives on the scene you could run different systems on different physical and or virtual machines and have them all using the same database, one feature I would like is to be able to is take and image of a virtual machine store it in a database, leaving the bare VM available to load a different image this way I could have say 1000 images stored with only 10% need at one time (100 machines ) thus reducing the hardware requirements.
Sorry if I got a bit off topic -

The Storage Manager does not yet have a hook for the "Web Server", but that should be resolved in the next week or so. Once that is done, the Storage Manager would map everything in /var/www/html and /var/www/virtual on to your NAS. No symlinks would be necessary, it would just work as long as the NAS was connected. The basic steps would be:
- Mount your NAS to /store
- Initialize the Web Server storage hook
I'll post more once the update is released!
