[Building Sakai] How to convert Binary File content to file System?

[will trillich]

Hi Tony --

Have you tried the instructions at
http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/confluence/x/yac

long URL version:
http://bugs.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/DOC/Sakai+Admin+Guide+-+Binary+Content+and+Filesystem+Settings

Look for the "Migrating from database storage to filesystem storage"
section and see what that does for you.

Also, you might consider having several 'volumes' (instead of just
one) to specify for
bodyVolumes at org.sakaiproject.content.api.ContentHostingService

After the conversion I can't access files attached to the OSP Matrix, and the Student's files on Resources area. The Site is working normally since I restored the sakai.properties file with the original file.
