Re: [mapserver-users] Mapcache - Is it possible to have two tilesets share a single cache at particular zoom levels?
You'd still need to configure the political map tileset not to generate tiles in the symlinked folders but to serve tiles from those folders - I don't think that's possible. IMHO it's better to configure your political map tiles to only be available for a specific range of zoom levels and advertise that explicitly.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapcache - Is it possible to have two tilesets share a single cache at particular zoom levels?
Andreas, Good idea. It looks like Windows can create symlinks. I suppose I could try symlinking the cache for levels 5-11. Do you know if I would need to create hard or soft links to do this? Also, I would like to make sure our backup software does not try to backup the actual data twice...

What about symlinking the level directories? > -Original Message- > From: mapserver-users [mailto:mapserver-users- > boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Mark Volz > Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2019 4:12 PM > To: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org > Subject: [mapserver-users] Mapcache - Is it possible to have two > tilesets share a single cache at particular zoom levels? > > Hello, > > > > I have two similar tilesets configured in Mapcache.
