Thanks Olivier!  I will set an absolute directory.

On a side note as per previous discussion, I have an NFS mount for the
archiva data folder that is symlinked.

NFS: /mnt/archiva-remote

ARCHIVA:  /archiva/data --> /mnt/archiva-remote

When I set my repository folder via the Archiva UI to something like:

/archiva/data/repositories/cms-releases

After I save and then refresh the UI, the value for the repository gets
changed to:

/mnt/archiva-remote/repositories/cms-releases

While this still works, it makes it difficult to move or relocate the
share. Recently we had to create a bigger share (we now have 4TB) on
another system to which we mounted at a different mount point, to which we
copied the data files from the old share and then switched the symlink, but
it broke the repositories because the directories were pointing to the old
NFS mount.  Something to look at anyway.

When is 1.4-M4 scheduled?
