[Samba] CTDB DBDIR Options? Errors

[Robert Buck]

Running into problems configuring different locations for the volatile and
other database directories. Can someone provide a quick sanity check on
what I'm doing below? Thank you.

Given

[database]

   volatile database directory = /var/cache/dbdir/volatile

   persistent database directory = /var/cache/dbdir/persistent

   state database directory = /var/cache/dbdir/state

And given,

[root at use1-samba-server-c25-use1-01 ec2-user]# ls -al /var/cache/dbdir/

total 32

drwxr-xr-x.  6 root root  4096 Nov  4 13:30 .

drwxr-xr-x. 12 root root   145 Nov  4 13:16 ..

drwx------.  2 root root 16384 Nov  4 13:16 lost+found

drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root  4096 Nov  4 13:30 persistent

drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root  4096 Nov  4 13:30 state

drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root  4096 Nov  4 13:30 volatile

Why would we get,

Nov 04 13:58:49 use1-samba-server-c25-use1-01 ctdbd_wrapper[6558]: volatile
database directory "/var/cache/dbdir/volatile" does not exist
