Is my surmise correct in this instance? Has anyone done either of these methods and which do you suggest as the best one - drawbacks with the methods. Does anyone have a script that already does this (configure local couchdb instance to look for its db files in an external drive at startup)? Thanks, Bryan Rasmussen --001a11c33f0295b8b50529b78d98--
