Re: [galaxy-dev] Working with files outside galaxy without copying?
Many thanks for the links, exectly what I need! (somehow missed to look in the right place, obviously ...)

Re: [galaxy-dev] Working with files outside galaxy without copying?
This may be implemented, I believe some people run Galaxy on the cluster, but if not: Galaxy normally operates on files stored in the database/files folder. If your Galaxy instance has access to the files you need on your parallel fs, I guess you could start by writing a tool that creates links to your files when given the path to the input file. Another tool may then move the dataset into the desired place while creating a link in the database folder.

Re: [galaxy-dev] Working with files outside galaxy without copying?
Hi Samuel Have you looked at Data Libraries ? (http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Data%20Libraries/Libraries ) also look at the configurations in universe_wsgi.ini: library_import_dir user_library_import_dir allow_library_path_paste which gives you many option to access data out side of the Galaxy database/ folder - without duplicating the data.
