So you want temp directories and working directories to sit on the
external drive but not Galaxy's files:
Lets say this external disk is mounted as /mnt/gxwork. I would create
two directories under that maybe /mnt/gxwork/tmp and
/mnt/gxwork/working.
Setting the working directory is the easier part - you just need to set
job_working_directory = /mnt/gxwork/working
Ideally - where Galaxy tools write temporary files is handled outside
of Galaxy - so if you could mount /tmp using that /mnt/gxwork/tmp
directory it would be best. This isn't always realistic though. The
alternative is to make sure all jobs run with TMP, TEMP, and TMPDIR
environment variables set to that directory. There are a myriad of
ways to do this that are going to depend on your configuration. In
most cases - it is probably best to just place these definitions in
your Galaxy users .bashrc file maybe - if you really want Galaxy to
handle this I think you can setup an environment file and point the
environment_setup_file option at it.
So create a galaxy_job_env file with following contents:
export TMP=/mnt/gxwork/tmp
export TEMP=/mnt/gxwork/tmp
export TMPDIR=/mnt/gxwork/tmp
and then set environment_setup_file in Galaxy's universe_wsgi.ini to
point at it.
Some older tools will use - new_file_path in universe_wsgi.ini for
temporary directories. So I would also point this at that
/mnt/gxwork/working.
Hopefully this helps.

Hi,
now I am trying to set the working and temp directories of Galaxy enviroment
in a external drive, but I do not know how to do this task. I know that
universe_wgsi.ini file has a section called Files and directories, with
diferent options like job_working_directory, collect_outputs_from, file_path
and new_file_path. However, I do not know if these are the options to be set
or if there are other options. I also do not know how to set these options.
Can anybody help me or point me to a tutorial?
Thanks
