Hi guys,

 

I've found an interesting thing in the membase (community) debian pacakge. I configured my data to be in /opt/membase/1.6.0.1/data (the default). However, for some reason, this is a symlink to ../../../var/opt/membase/1.6.0.1/data, which in my case is on a different partition. I've fixed it by removing the symlink and copying the data, but I think this is an error in the package. Because it is a symlink, the web console didn't show the correct amount of space free on the path. Moving the data fixes this as well.

 

Greetings,

 

Wouter

 Thanks Wouter.  You are correct that the console is unable to follow symlinks in order to determine the proper free space.    The next release will remove this symlink and point directly to the data location.

You can also work around this in the current release by specifying the direct path to the data when setting up a node.
