Hi,
I tried to relocate the /var/lib/boinc and /var/lib/boinc-client directories by a soft link to the mount point of my SSD as opposed to the smaller / slower sd card on my new Pi 4. (It is not possible to boot from the SSD at this time to my knowledge.) So I have created links and moved the files, but I must have done something wrong, because it will not start.
I am running the latest version of Boinc as of 2 days ago when I downloaded it.
I'm running on a Pi 4 with 4GB mem.
I'm not sure I redirected things correctly.
I pointed /var/lib/boinc to /mnt/data/boinc-client and also pointed /var/lib/boinc-client to /mnt/data/boinc-client.
I see that boinc-client seems to be also inside itself on the SSD.
I couldn't find documentation that indicated how to redirect the default disk location, so I winged it and caused the problem.

Does anyone know what I should do to correctly redirect the default disk location to /mnt/data?

Thanks,
mitchh

Not quite what you asked for but I did knock up some instructions on moving the Rpi root partition to an external drive. You can find them here. I had to use them last week under Buster so they still are correct apart from Rsync already being installed.

Thanks Mark!
It took a while to get to reset everything, but I followed the instructions to mount /root on the SSD and it is working great now. I didn't have much on this pi, so it was easier to reload everything and start over.

Mounting the SSD to /root solves many other issues I wanted a solution to cover as well!

So thanks!
