Using an additional database folder

[sydlexic]

I've got a client setting up FM Server 9 Advanced on a Mac OS X Server (10.5.6). There's a regular 280 GB internal drive and another, internal 550 GB RAID drive mounted as a regular volume. (It's formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).)

I cannot get the FM Server Administration tool to recognize the path to the RAID as valid. I have confirmed that another directory on the main drive will resolve correctly, but cannot duplicate this with the RAID. This is not a remote drive, which I understand cannot work.

Has anyone seen this behavior, or offer any clues?

Thanks very much.

First thing is to check the folder permissions.

That was it. The problem was solved by setting both the group/owner and file permissions to match those of the default database directory.

Thanks very much.

Just a note that you ar running an unsupported OS here. So other things may arise to surprise you from time to time.
