I created an identity with no issues on two computers as when I did it on one per the docs to check the identity I ran
grep -c BEGIN ~/.local/share/storj/identity/storagenode/ca.cert
grep -c BEGIN ~/.local/share/storj/identity/storagenode/identity.cert
and I got 1 and 2 so I did it on another, still a linux machine and get the same numbers and per the doc it should be 2 and 3.
