Hi all,
I've been scratching my head over this for a few weeks now and can't figure out the behavior of the reload function regarding documentation (https://docs.geoserver.geo-solutions.it/edu/en/clustering/clustering/passiv e/passive.html#data-directory) I was expecting that any change written into the catalog (external geoserver_data_dir on an nfs mount) would be reflected in geoserver after a reload as mentioned in the docs but it's quite the opposite that happens: the changes on disk are wiped out after a reload ! My set-up is quite simple : RHEL 8.7 with Tomcat 9 and OpenJDK 1.8. The external Geoserver data dir is set in Tomcat's setenv.sh as described here: https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/datadirectory/setting.html#java-sy stem-property Steps to reproduce: 1. Deploy whatever version of Geoserver you have in Tomcat 2. Set the CATALINA_OPTS=$CATALINA_OPTS" -DGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR=/opt/. in setenv.sh 3. Restart Tomcat 4. Edit global.xml in the geoserver_data_dir and just change the addressCity value on line 5 5. From Geoserver GUI press the reload button Result: change made in 4 is replaced with the previous value in Geoserver memory ! A big thanks in advance to those that can tell me what I'm doing wrong as from my point of view my use-case is exactly what is described in the documentation but the results are opposite to what I'd expect. NB: other use-case with several Geoserver deployed in several VM result in the same behavior. I.E if a change is saved from one instance (and that works) a reload from another instance wipes-out the previous one. Regards, - Christophe GARAULT Orange Restricted
