Hello,
I would add one idea worth thinking about. Small reminder about quite nice symlink alternative - UnionFS mounts. I use them for long time and IMHO they are much cleaner than symlinks. Personally I use three layers. Vanilla server files -> All non-vanilia server files that are common for all instances -> Server specific files. Using this model I do not have to worry that updater melt my symlinks someday :-P W dniu 2013-04-18 13:34, Bjorn Wielens napisał(a): > Thanks all for the insight.
