mac Strange Validation issue in setting path for additional db folders

[fmow]

I literally copy and paste the default folder address and delete part of the path, and it still won't validate it? What gives?

Path end with a /  ?

[Wim Decorte]

what part did you delete?

 

In the resulting path, make sure that FMS has the proper privileges.

Is it a folder on a network drive?

Yeap, / included.

 

I deleted, say up to library/ or something like this, it won't work with any truncation. 

 

It's a usb ssd on a controller, soon to be part of a thunderbolt array hopefully. 

 

Hi Wim, yeah I remember your bit on privileges in the vtc course, there's a separate user fmserver or something right? That I have to explicitly provide privileges to in os x, unless I follow the default. That could quite possibly be it. Unless I am doing something really inane I can't figure out.
