topic Moving alf_data in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/moving-alf-data/m-p/280060#M233190 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hey Guys,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Completely new to Linux and Alfresco so bear with me. Clean install of 5.0.d on Centos 7. I want to move alf_data to a second mounted drive (sdb1). If I try to do it at the point of install I can't see or point to it from the dropdown (all I see is /). I know I'm doing something wrong here. The path of the new alf_data folder on the second drive is ls /mnt/sdb1/alfresco/alf_data. I have stopped the service using ./alfresco.sh stop., I have changed global.properties dir.root to match same, moved all alf_data to the new loc but when I restart the service it creates a new alf_data folder in the original loc. I've scoured the forums and checked folder permissions etc, edited SOLR4 xmls just in case but I'm obviously doing something wrong. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I actually changed the location to another folder on the same drive initially just to see if I could get it working but even then it just generated a new alf_data.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any help would be appreciated !!!! </SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 12 Jan 2016 14:00:43 GMT mpricecel 2016-01-12T14:00:43Z Moving alf_data https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/moving-alf-data/m-p/280060#M233190 Hey Guys,Completely new to Linux and Alfresco so bear with me.

It made me go back and double check everything. Looks like I hadn't modified the permissions of the new location properly (even though I thought I had). Thanks for your help. All working now ……</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 14 Jan 2016 14:07:53 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/moving-alf-data/m-p/280063#M233193 mpricecel 2016-01-14T14:07:53Z
