Hello everyone,
i am new in this Forum.
I am using ZoneMinder 1.34.9 via FreeNAS as Plugin.
Everything working fine, except the saving names folders.
ZoneMinder saves the Data twice, as example: "1" and as "Workplace". If i delete Workplace, its showing up again. The problem next to its locking ugly, is, it cost me double of the storage. Is there any shell command / code to change the safe folders name for records/events?
Further Information, its mounted to my storage folder i got access through windows.
I upload a picture as well, hopefully someone understand what i am meaning.
Thank you in advance!

Hi!
It is not costing you double the storage, and please don't delete things by hand, otherwise you will at some point lose events you want to keep (or at least confuse ZoneMinder).
Zoneminder creates a numbered directory for each camera (monitor). The number is the "monitor ID" used within ZoneMinder, and this is where the events really live.
It also creates a symbolic link, with a friendly name, e.g. "Workplace" -- the name you gave to the monitor, which points at the numbered directory.
This is perfectly normal, and only uses up a few bytes of disk space.
It will look like the events are duplicated in both places, but they really aren't.
