It sounds like you also have a symlink though, so I think @verne91 would probably just want to symlink the external drive into the jbrowse folder as well. The dataRoot is just a method to make jbrowse load a different data folder by default\r\n\r\n\r\nI.e.\r\n\r\nnormally jbrowse just loads data from\r\n\r\n\r\nhttp://localhost/jbrowse/data\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you changed dataRoot=otherdata, it might load the data from\r\n\r\nhttp://localhost/jbrowse/otherdata\r\n"}}
