I have just done a clean installation of Ubuntu 19.04, installed Tomcat 9, 
installed OpenJDK 11 and installed GS 2.15

I have a folder called /data to which I point GeoServer by editing web.xml

   <context-param>
       <param-name>GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR</param-name>
       <param-value>/data/</param-value>
    </context-param>

Now when I start GeoServer I get an error in /var/log/syslog saying /data is 
not writeable !

Apr 25 15:14:05 hostname tomcat9[13480]: 25 Apr 15:14:05 ERROR 
[storage.DefaultStorageFinder] - Found Servlet context parameter 
GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR set to /data/ , which is not writeable

Tomcat is running as user ‘tomcat’. The /data folder is owned by tomcat with 
permissions 777 (I know that is not the best but I am trying to get things 
working)

I have tried setting the data folder in her setclasspath.sh

CATALINA_OPTS="-DGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR=/data"

But I get the same error.

Has anybody else seen this?
