I have an additional 100 Gb storage block mounted on `/mnt/volume-fra1-01`. How can I make Elasticsearch store it's data there? I suspect that now they are being stored in `/var/lib/elasticsearch` but on this storage device I have 30 Gb only.  
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS.

Edit: this solves the problem - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/settings.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/settings.html)

Since this is an Elasticsearch question I suggest you edit your post to move it to the Elasticsearch category.
