Does anybody tried to share some VC files between several VC server instances? I have idea to share map folders between several server instances because of saving HDD space and idea with links doesn't work. Is there any other way how to handle it?
I want to separate all logfiles etc, also each server has different maps in maplist for exact day but a lot of maps are duplicated at HDD. So shortcut (link) for map should be the best solution.
You can do that with symbolic links. On Win7, this worked for me (delete/move maps folder first): mklink /D "C:\GAMES\Vietcong Test\maps" "C:\GAMES\mapsforall"
(This should also work for the game .cbfs, just omit /D then).
Did you try it with symbolic link only? I cannot use hard link because of hard link consume the same space as original file, and the space is the reason why i need to do it.
Sorry, I have already edited my post. Just use symbolic links (mklink for files, mklink /D for directories).
(btw. for hard links it only looks like each has its own size, but in real these are references to one object, thus not consuming more space. That's how I understood it)
