I assumed that "location" was a pre existing local path for juju to use. If juju will manage filesystem what's the point in having "location" option?

I'll be happy to review them when fixed just let me know when it's done -- Juju mailing list Juju@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/juju
