I have separate drives for the operating system and Xeoma video storage. I've noticed three files in /usr/local/Xeoma/XeomaArchive that are written to frequently, in addition to temporary files in /var/tmp. Can the location of these files be moved, say to the same location as where the archive videos are stored?

Yes, sure, you can move them by installing Xeoma to the folder you need those files to be written to, with Main Menu -> Install -> Install

I'm using command line so how is it done with that?

The reason I ask is I'm seeing a lot of writes to those files, which are on a small SSD. I'd prefer to have them written to a different drive, the same drive as the archive. The /usr/local/Xeoma/XeomaArchive directory contains only about 165MB, and lately have been getting about 17 days of archive based on the size of the archive drive. However, I'm seeing about 1GB/day written to the main drive, and from what I can tell it's this directory. Would this make sense? Is this much data written to these files despite their total size being much less than what is written per day?

I can see your point. Unfortunately, the console command line for moving these files is not added yet. For now you will have to do Installation via a client.

Here's a workaround if use of a client part is impossible or undesirable:

Step 1. Turn Xeoma server part off.
Step 2. Move all files except for the installdir.dat from Xeoma's folder to a new folder of your choice.
Step 3. In the installdir.dat file, left alone in Xeoma's fplder, change the path to a new path where we moved all the files to. Save changes.
Step 4. Turn Xeoma server part back on.

Did it help?

I actually tried something else. I wanted to keep the executable where it was, but move XeomaArchive somewhere else. I initially had that directory in a Ramdisk, and planned to periodically sync it to the drive, but that seemed risky and messy. So I simply shutdown Xeoma, moved XeomaArchive to where I wanted it, and created a symlink to it. Works great.

Yes, that's good as well. Thanks for sharing your workaround!
