Steps to reproduce
I have a hard drive on my server mounted on /mnt/data/ that I need to use as the ownCloud server storage space.
(I’ve been considering (and tried) to use a symlink from /var/www/owncloud/data/user/files/symlink to /mnt/data/ but it doesn’t work.)
I have added 'files_external_allow_create_new_local' => 'true', to ownCloud config file config.php , so I now successfully can add a local storage with ownCloud web UI. I have changed permissions of /mnt/data/ so that everything is now recursively owned by www-data , the Debian HTTP user used by ownCloud.
Expected behaviour
Have the files stored on the hard drive appear in the ownCloud web UI browser.
Actual behaviour
Under the “storage” section of ownCloud web UI admin settings, I can add a folder configured to be /mnt/data/ (it shows a green circle), it will then appear on the user’s web UI but saying there are no files in it, wether there are and I rescan using ownCloud php occ files:scan --all command.
Also, when I add a subfolder configured to be the existing subfolder on external disk /mnt/data/subfolder , it doesn’t add it, showing a red square in the settings in web UI as an error. It also shows " Some of the configured external mount points are not connected. Please click on the red row(s) for more information " on top of ownCloud web UI.
