When specifying the database directory, please /// make sure the directory is actually writable by the arangod process. /// /// You should further not use a database directory which is provided by a /// network filesystem such as NFS. The reason is that networked filesystems /// might cause inconsistencies when there are multiple parallel readers or /// writers or they lack features required by arangod (e.g. flock()). /// /// directory /// /// When using the command line version, you can simply supply the database /// directory as argument. /// /// @EXAMPLES /// /// /// > ./arangod --server.endpoint tcp://127.0.0.1:8529 --database.directory /// /tmp/vocbase /// /// @endDocuBlock ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
