Erik Hatcher commented on SOLR-637: ----------------------------------- The solr.data.dir technique _should_ be supported by the multicore.xml as well. Maybe it is a misunderstanding of how -Dsolr.data.dir works? It works by having a ${solr.data.dir} or ${solr.data.dir:<default value>} spelled out in any of the config files, even schema.xml. So I believe it should work to be able to craft a multicore.xml as follows: <multicore adminPath="/admin/multicore" persistent="true" > <core name="core0" instanceDir="${root.dir}/core0" /> <core name="core1" instanceDir="${root.dir}/core1" /> </multicore> And launch with -Droot.dir=whatever Could you confirm whether that works for you? Of course the value of the <dataDir> in each of your core's solrconfig.xml is taken into consideration also.
