All I ask is plain simple questions and never have got a proper answer or even in some cases any answers from Adobe - you would think after spending vast amounts of money on multiple licenses you would get help!!! So -

    I agree with flashdicrionary, add <Streams></Streams> tags for all your new folders / drives, obviously make sure you are pointing at the correct base dir in each - but you will need to recycle the app

    Modify the Application.xml like this

    <Application>

        <StreamManager>

            <VirtualDirectory>

      <Streams>/;F:\MySpannedFMSStorageDir</Streams>

                <Streams>/;D:\MyOriginalFMSStorageDir</Streams>

            </VirtualDirectory>

        </StreamManager>

    </Application>

    our biggest problem is our FMS guy has left due to an accident he has had and we are trying to fathom how to fix this issue, so any help would be appreciated by emailing us at juturna_alaska@hotmail.com

    company shares/equity can be offered for help in fixing this issue (most likely take someone less than 20 mins to do)

    thanks

    PS we run Windows 2008 R2 and FMS 4.0 (and looking to upgrade to 4.5 or even 5.0)

    Do you have any examples in Linux as well, as these are all based on Windows.

    Hi,

    The easiest way to achieve this is to create a symbolic link of drive F in drive D using the following command:

    mklink /d <Link> <Target>

    Hi,

    Actually this command will create a softlink of the <Target> with the name <Link>. For example if you want to create a link of F drive in C drive with the name F_Link, change directory to C: drive and run the following command from cmd:

    mklink /d F_Link F:

    Then you can use F_Link as any other folder in C drive.

    If that does not work for you, try to mount virtual directories in Windows or Linux. For example you have your D drive: D:\FMSStorageDir\VirtuallyMountedDir\

    The VirtuallyMountedDir can store any new streams.

    To do this it would require your Flash application to append the stream name with the virtually mounted folder VirtuallyMountedDir

    So sorry nobody has helped you out with this. So Ill try to help even if I cant answer it fully.

    You can map multiple physical directories to a single virtual directory. You use a stream tag <Streams> to map to your existing directory on your D drive, and then enter another stream tag <Streams> to map to a folder on the F drive.

    Modify the Application.xml like this

    <Application>

        <StreamManager>

            <VirtualDirectory>

                <!-- Specifies application specific virtual directory mapping for recorded

                streams.   -->

      <Streams>/;F:\MySpannedFMSStorageDir</Streams>

                <Streams>/;D:\MyOriginalFMSStorageDir</Streams>

            </VirtualDirectory>

        </StreamManager>

    </Application>

    See the following page:
