Hi everyone! I got a question from a client and I didn't found any clear answer for: Can elastic store data on multiple file systems? If I have a linux machine with multiple file systems, can I configure elastic you use more than one for storage? If I can, will it hurt the indexing/quering preformance? Thanks! ---

See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.5/path-settings.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.5/path-settings.html) - you can specify an array for that field. ---
