Hi all,

I remember documentation or blog post, or something which showed how one might model a directory structure system in ES, incorporating moving files, modifying folders, etc.

I can't find it now, does anyone remember it or can point me in the right direction?

Best, Dan.

Sadly not, though that one will still be useful!

Did you remember that one or were you able to search for it? I wasn't able to find a Google query that cut through the noise of configuring ES for different file systems...

Well. I wrote it so it was not super hard to remember 😛
