Thanks Fabian, it works. I'll just create a custom script to start monetdb. Best, Remi On Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 5:45 PM, Fabian Groffen <fabian@monetdb.org> wrote:

I am trying to change the default data directory of MonetDB. I installed monetdb using the ubuntu package, by default the data is stored in:

/var/lib/monetdb

I am running out of space, and I like to migrate the data to another folder. Does anyone know how to do that? I would welcome a solution that doesn't involve compiling monetdb from sources...

1. stop monetdbd 2. copy /var/lib/monetdb data into new location (rsync, cp, etc.) 3. start monetdb /path/to/my/new/location

for 3. you also might have an option in the startup scripts/config, but I don't know about that.
