Error while reading drive info...

[Derek Damko]

I keep getting this error message when starting up EventStore. Is this a permissions issue?

Error while reading drive info for path /tmp/EventStore/2015-04-06_23.02.32.094598-Node2113. 

Message: The drive name does not exist

Parameter name: driveName

Things like setup and operating system may help here.

Ah yes.

Arch Linux with 3.19.2 kernel

Running ES 3.0.3 with the ./run-node.sh script.

Wondering if I should run this on a VM with Ubuntu.

[Greg Young]

Do you get it if its not in /tmp/? Maybe arch is doing something odd
with /tmp file system?

So when I run ./run-node.sh the first few lines I get back are:

ES VERSION:        3.0.3.0 (master/a1382252dd1ed0554ddb04015cdb2cbc1b0a65c1, Fri, 13 Mar 2015 13:56:05 -0400)

OS:                       Unknown (Unix 3.19.2.1)

RUNTIME:              3.12.0 (tarball) (64-bit)

GC:                       2 GENERATIONS

LOGS:                   /tmp/EventStore/2015-04-07_17.43.34.963577-Node2113-logs

How do I go about changing the dir where logs are stored?

[Greg Young]

thats also where your db is stored.

try --db --help lists command line options

eg ./run-node.sh --db foo

[Derek Damko]

Fixed!  ./run-node.sh --log ~/eventstore/es-logs --db ~/eventstore/es-db

Thanks for the assistance Greg.

So I think whats happening here is Arch is doing some weird things
with the /tmp file system. I will research into whats happening as we
should at least not error here (just ignore it)

[Derek Damko]

Glad I found an edge case. :-)

[Greg Young]

Whats interesting is arch is apparently working differently than
ubuntu and centos etc on this one

[Derek Damko]

I know Arch gets a bad wrap for doing things differently from most distros. But I won't trade it for another. :-)
