Hmm, seems the Composite-Cache would be the better way to go: https://mapserver.org/mapcache/caches.html#composite-caches
In the past symbolic links (aka soft links) worked for me on Linux. But with that tiles might be seeded through multiple caches giving error "unknown error (another thread/process failed to create the tile I was waiting for)" in the logs. So better try a composite cache. > -----Original Message----- > From: mapserver-users [mailto:mapserver-users- > boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Mark Volz > Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2019 10:35 PM > To: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org > Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Mapcache - Is it possible to have > two tilesets share a single cache at particular zoom levels? > > Andreas, > > Good idea.
