Updating Root Folder Mounts
When the mount associated with the root folder is updated, the physical directory path, specified as the new mount path, should have the same directory structure below it as the physical directory specified by the old mount path.
For example, if the old root folder mount path is D:\folder1 with the testvault_RootFolder_1_Folder_1 subdirectory below it and you want to update the mount path to D:\folder2, then the following directory structure must exist: D:\folder2\testvault_RootFolder_1_Folder_1.
If a root folder mount update is attempted and the required subdirectories have not been created, an error message similar to the following appears:
Update of mount for root folder "testvault_RootFolder_1" failed
Update of mount for subfolder
"testvault_RootFolder_1_Folder_1" failed. A physical folder
corresponding to the subfolder mount path
"D:\folder2\testvault_RootFolder_1_Folder_1" does not exist.
When you are updating the mount of a root folder, do the following:
1. Change the status of the root folder to read-only to prevent additional files from being uploaded to the current mount path.
2. Copy all subdirectories and files recursively from the old mount path of the root folder to the new mount path.
3. Update the root folder mount with the new file path. The mounts of the automatically created folders below the root folder are automatically updated.
4. Update the root folder again the clear the read-only status.
