Hello again! at first thank you for your help and i will check your hint step by step. To explain why: We used a symlink because we have a lot of image data that exceeds the space of the server hardware. So i used nfs and symlinks as the easiest way to handle this and at the end it is a historical fact ;) Now we have new hardware and i thought, it would be the easiest way to continue to save some time. The actual state: The tomcat-user has rw-access to the remote directory. The problem is also present when i rename the original data-dir unchanged and link it back on the same partition in the same place. This can be reproduced on a completely different setup, so i think, this is a geoserver-thing. This is surprising, as my experience and the official documentation says something else, and the old instance work this way. At the moment it works, when i make symlinks only on the data/data and gwc directories (the directories with the huge consumption of space) and the rest is persistant in the local geoserver-data-dir. So for me, it works at the moment, but i will follow this problem, because it seems strange to me. Thank you for your help Uwe Seher
