Ah, yes. This is what I was just requesting yesterday in the email that I sent, although it was much more long-winded. I didn't see this email chain from the day before. Having a user-representative directory structure would be beneficial in my mind.
I followed/understood your suggested directory structure up until the arrows. Are those supposed to be symlinks? If so, what do you have in mind? I was thinking that just having those subdirectories by user id under files/ would be enough (although I could see how you could symlink them to some other arbitrary location if you so desired). My desired application was so that I could set up an FTP share to the files/ directory so that our users could copy their (processed) files off of the Galaxy server to other servers in our environment as well as one of our other clusters. Having the datasets segregated into the user's/owner's subdirectories would make it easier to identify and copy them off for that purpose. -Josh >Nate- >I do know about the disk accounting/quota features of Galaxy >As I eluded in my previous email, it goes beyond accounting actually.
