What is the absolute path of a mounted volume (For Perforce Depot?)

Posted on January 21, 2018

I recently attached a volume to increase storage space, and followed the instructions to mount it. Now in the directory: /mnt/p4-shareddepot I can see a test file I have made.
I’m trying to create a new P4 depot in this location in P4Admin, by specifying the depot location to be /mnt/p4-shareddepot/test… but it is not showing up. Any advice as to how to get a P4 depot on this drive? Is there another way to specify the absolute path to this drive? Thanks!

Fixed it… I changed the owner user of this directory to the perforce user.
