Description rdv4rjm 2019-07-31 05:53:08 UTC 
SUMMARY
Am setting up a server DL-380 Gen 10 with a attached storage device MSA 2052.  The server's storage is solely the attached device.  I am just starting with Digikam as of tonight.  I cannot reach the Volume which displays in file manager of Fedora.  DigiKam is my hope for digitizing many k photos.  My database will grow big fast.  For this server to work, I need access to my storage device.  Don't know if it is a bug.  As far as ssds, this storage device throughput beats any single ssd drive.  Digikam is a database.  I suppose it is a server oriented software.  I would highly appreciate if this option could be added to Digikam.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Maik Qualmann 2019-07-31 06:00:55 UTC 
1. DigiKam is not a database. DigiKam can fill and use a database of image data.
2. You need to mount a network drive locally. Digikam can not access network paths.
3. DigiKam can access and use an external MySQL server located on the network. Drives with images MUST be mounted locally.
