 Description   

Customer reported

The storagemanager.cnf file has the variable $HOME
Currently this points to /home/brpont, as i am the currently logged in user.

This obviously is not going to work.
Please use a different env variable name.

This location, where ever we point it, will be an EBS volume. May i presume we need to handle creation and mounting of this point?

$HOME's been replaced for the next releases. Everything was in flux at the time of development, didn't know where to put it. Figured since the user would have to configure storagemanager by hand anyway to set keys, buckets, etc, they could also set the paths the way they like. I don't have the ticket on hand, but $HOME has been replaced with the current location of CS data.

re mounting / ebs / etc, the user will have to do that themselves. We're trying to be more agnostic / happily ignorant about underlying storage going forward.
