BetterRed,

Thanks! That might just do it! Will try. It's that I have, over the years had most of my reference books scanned in as PDFs with OCR support from a local scanning service, so the files are larger than your typical ebook as they are PDFs with page images and OCR metadata -- it's about 30+ gig total, which pushed the 256G SSD in my server over the edge. Ideally I'd have the content on the NAS (which has redundancy, and cloud backup) and the database locally on the server.

This env variable may just do that! Thanks. Have a great day!
