Hi Paul, Are you able to mount the production assetstore on your dev instance via NFS in read-only mode? Or, if not that, use SSHFS instead?
If you can mount the remote filesystem read-only, you can adjust the bitstore.xml configuration on the dev instance to have two storage locations: one for the original production read-only data, and then a new writeable one for dev to be used for testing. Then make sure the “incoming” storage location is set to the writeable dev filesystem. -- Sean From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Monday, November 15, 2021 at 2:27 AM To: DSpace Technical Support <[email protected]> Subject: [dspace-tech] assetstore too large for dev instance Caution: This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba. Hi, We are running a DSpace instance with a very large assetstore (over 1.2 TB), and this is now too large for our dev instance. We do not have enough disk space. Is there a way to strip the assetstore of content, use dummy files, or otherwise empty the assetstore for the dev instance? We sync the database to the dev instance. We are considering running the dev instance on the same machine, in which case, could we use the same assetstore for the dev instance? How would we set that up? We are using DSpace 6.3 on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server with PostgreSQL.
