Hello!

Sorry this one hasn't had any responses. Did you figure something out?

This /var/cfengine path is hard-coded into CFEngine at compile time. It is=
=20
referred to as WORKDIR:

https://docs.cfengine.com/docs/3.24/reference-special-variables-sys.html#sy=
s-workdir

If you need to migrate to new storage I might suggest this untested=20
procedure:

- shut CFEngine down with something like `systemctl stop cfengine3`
- double-checking that all CFEngine related processes are not running with=
=20
something like `ps -efl | grep cf`
- moving the current directory aside: `mv /var/cfengine /var/old-cfengine`
- mounting your new storage as `/var/cfengine`
- using rsync to copy everything over: `rsync -avz /var/old-cfengine/=20
/var/cfengine/`
- restart services with `systemctl start cfengine3`

I haven't had occasion to perform such a migration so take this as a=20
suggested course to be considered carefully as you plan.

Let us know how it goes or if you have more questions.
