I would like to suggest you to use a subfolder on the disk, like this:

> [@Start ~/00\_Start\_Storj.sh](https://forum.storj.io/t/start-00-start-storj-sh/7386/51):

And with folder for identity /mnt/storj /storagenode /storage /blob /blobs /garbage /temp …

Also, the external disk should have an additional power supply. The only USB is not enough.
