[resend because original did not show up]
Hi,
I installed elasticsearch-0.8.0 on 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10 system. It comes
up, runs fine, creates the indices I want, etc., but has a very serious
problem I can't trace down. If I do a 'bin/service/elasticsearch
restart' command (change config/restart), the entire database
disappears. I'm fairly certain this is not the desired action. Here's
a console log showing what happens:

I've read through the docs many times (very terse), changed config,
blown it away and unzipped again, nothing helps. Perhaps you can tell
me what I can do to correct the problem. I'm pretty sure it should
persist the data.
...Thanks,
