I would like to move the entire index database from "/opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk" to "/opt/splunk/var/lib/splunkdb" which is a new mount point.
I followed the direction from the documentation except I used rsync instead of cp.
It seems that everything works except when I remove the "/opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk" directory (the old index database), and restart splunk, it will add the "/opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk" directory back again. And that directory ("/opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk") contains .dat files and persistentstorage.
I would like to permanently remove the directory and only use the new mount point, "/opt/splunk/var/lib/splunkdb".
Would anyone please help me why splunk keeps adding the old directory back again, and what I can do to prevent this to happen again so that I can only use the new mount point.
Thanks
