Unity Asset Server move data directory

Questions & Answers

Hello,

I am trying to setup the Unity Asset Server on our file server and there is not option to set where the files committed to are stored on the server. I have a large external RAID array where I would like the assets to be stored it is mounted at /mnt/RAIDDRIVE

I believe that the files in the data folder contain the committed assets from any given project. If i move the /opt/unity_asset_server/data directory to my external drive and turn the local copy into symbolic link to the data directory on the external drive will that contain all the unity commits?

Thanks In Advanced

I tested this my self and answered my own question for anyone that run into the issue in the future its a simple fix.

Create a symbolic link from the installed location of the asset server to external drive you moved the entire folder too.

> ln -s /mnt/EXTERNAL-DRIVE/unity_asset_server/ unity_asset_server
> /etc/init.d/unity_asset_server start
