[MooseFS-Users] Change DATA_PATH on-the-fly

[Wilson, S. M <st...@pu...>]

Hi,

I'm wondering if there is a way to change the DATA_PATH location where mfsmaster writes its files without restarting mfsmaster.  I have one MooseFS file system that takes over 70 seconds to write its metadata to disk at the top of each hour.  I'd like to try pointing DATA_PATH to an SSD drive to see how much that would help but I don't want to stop a very active server just to try out this experiment.

Thanks!

Steve
