The instructions there are just for changing the file system location for blobs in a Nexus instance. Its not really clear to me what you’ve done or expect from your comments. You could try running the task to rebuild browse nodes which might refresh the tree. ---

> [@mpiggott](#): > > You could try running the task to rebuild browse nodes which might refresh the tree. If you mean, instruction from Relocatin Blob Store Article - it’s exactly what I’ve done. Or maybe you’re thinking about other task … Exatly this part: ```auto update repository_blobstore set attributes.file.path='/new/blobstore/location/sample' where name='sample' ``` ---

I defined Task → Repair - Rebuild repository browse Nothing changed - as you can check in log - it finished with success. But I still have only one artifact even that blobs looks ok. ```auto 2022-06-17 10:30:00,011+0000 INFO [quartz-11-thread-20] *SYSTEM org.sonatype.nexus.repository.browse.node.RebuildBrowseNodesTask - Task information: 2022-06-17 10:30:00,012+0000 INFO [quartz-11-thread-20] *SYSTEM org.sonatype.nexus.repository.browse.node.RebuildBrowseNodesTask - ID: aea67458-3a86-4d98-86c4-fb353e49274e 2022-06-17 10:30:00,012+0000 INFO [quartz-11-thread-20] *SYSTEM org.sonatype.nexus.repository.browse.node.RebuildBrowseNodesTask - Type: create.browse.nodes 2022-06-17 10:30:00,012+0000 INFO [quartz-11-thread-20] *SYSTEM org.sonatype.nexus.repository.browse.node.RebuildBrowseNodesTask - Name: Rebuild repository browse 2022-06-17 10:30:00,012+0000 INFO [quartz-11-thread-20] *SYSTEM org.sonatype.nexus.repository.browse.node.RebuildBrowseNodesTask - Description: Rebuilding browse tree for npm-private 2022-06-17 10:30:00,013+0000 INFO [quartz-11-thread-20] *SYSTEM org.sonatype.nexus.repository.browse.internal.orient.OrientRebuildBrowseNodeService - Deleting browse nodes for repository npm-private 2022-06-17 10:30:00,019+0000 INFO [quartz-11-thread-20] *SYSTEM org.sonatype.nexus.repository.browse.internal.orient.OrientBrowseNodeStore - Deleted 2 browse nodes for repository npm-private in 4.440 ms 2022-06-17 10:30:00,019+0000 INFO [quartz-11-thread-20] *SYSTEM org.sonatype.nexus.repository.browse.internal.orient.OrientRebuildBrowseNodeService - Rebuilding browse nodes for repository npm-private 2022-06-17 10:30:00,047+0000 INFO [quartz-11-thread-20] *SYSTEM org.sonatype.nexus.repository.browse.internal.orient.OrientRebuildBrowseNodeService - Rebuilt browse nodes for 2 / 2 assets in 26 ms 2022-06-17 10:30:00,048+0000 INFO [quartz-11-thread-20] *SYSTEM org.sonatype.nexus.repository.browse.node.RebuildBrowseNodesTask - Task complete ``` Did anybody verify Relocating blob stores and browsing after it in version OSS 3.39.0-01. Or please let me know for what version it works for sure.
