I am also curious about the answer. If you grep the code, you will notice SO MANY python/shell script hard code the absolute path /var/xxx /usr/xxx . Not everyone can install software under /

My root fs does not have enough storage, but I have a large ephemeral storage disk that I could mount and use for installing Ambari and HDFS, HBase. Is there a configuration setting in Ambari that can help me move all Ambari+Hadoop related storage (Ambari scripts, configs, logs, HDFS, HBase, Zkpr data, etc.) into separate drives (for eg., /hadoop, /hbase, /ambari, etc.). I know it works when building HDFS and HBase from Apache sources and customizing the installation. But I updated all the settings in step "Customize Services" in Ambari but still see Hadoop conf directories missing and Ambari scripts running from /etc, /var etc. Is there a central root.dir setting for each of these services (ambari and services deployed by ambari) that can help me update the locations? Thanks! Ganesh
