I do prereleases pretty often.. but not 2.9.... sorry > One thing that does not make sense to me is the URL provided > "file://E:\luchtfotos2016" - when I use firefox in a windows VM I get > something like "file:///C:/java/target/". I know it is a funny URL: file://E:\luchtfotos2016 but it's not me making this up... it is Geoserver webinterface doing it when I browse to E: and then go into the directory luchtfotos2016... This is WindosServer2008 (but later tested on Win10 too) and as said: that url worked in 2.8 (and I found even funnier URL's in older configs: file:e:\luchtfotos2015\ which apparently worked at that time :-( > When teaching on windows (my only chance to use it) I often use firefox > to construct the correct URL as above. Can you do so now - I would > expect something like file://E:/lunchfotos2016/" It is Firefox that we use on that machine... I just installed Geoserver 2.10 nightly on my kids Windows pc here at home (fresh vanilla Geoserver zip)... Create a 'Image Mosaic', browse to whatever directory outside the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR folder (be it c: or d:), eg d:\data en you will see file://D:\data when trying to save it as a store you will see: Could not list layers for this store, an error occurred retrieving them. Failed to create reader from file://D:\data and hints is null I created an issue for it: https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-8011 Note that creating a shape store and browsing to a shapefile also shows a funny url, but that just succeeds in creating the store...
