I just setup Ubuntu 12.04 with DRBL and I can create and restore images, however we have alot of different images we use since we have alot of different machines in the environment. Is there a way I can access different directories inside the main one my DRBL is using so we can organize the images in a somewhat logical manner? I have 2 directories in there but I only see the images.

Is this possible? Just want to sort out laptop images and desktop images in different folders that I can navigate to once I boot via PXE and choose the appropriate image for the machine I am on.

The /home/partimag/ is the default one. You can change that in drbl-ocs.conf. However, drblpush has to be run again.
This has to be improved in the future...

Basically yes. Or you can try "mount --bind dir /home/partimag/" to mount another directory "dir" as /home/partimag/. However, in that case, you will have to restart NFS service.

Ok.. I will try that later today. Thanks. I have a secondary drive that I created a mount point on that my images save to now and was hoping to be able to provide a layer of organization, but for now I can just use some sort of prefix when I name the images to keep the list organized. Hopefully a newer release will include sub directory capability. Thanks for the assistance and will let you know if the bind works

So I will only be able to access whatever directory I set as the default and no sub directories within the default?
