Configuring a new perforce depot with a new file storage location on block storage with Digital Ocean

We are starting to develop a new project on Unreal 5, so we needed to expand our perforce server to add more storage.

To do this we:

1) Added block storage on digital ocean.

2) Created a new depot and modified its path to a non relative path where we want the files to go. In our case this was.

/mnt/volume_lon1_01/…

3) Added permissions for the perforce user to modify this folder with this command on the linux console:

setfacl -R -m u:perforce:rwx mnt
