Hello!
I want to store data on another partition, how to do it?
you can start Zcash as “zcashd -datadir=” and then the location for the files!

Thanks for this solution.
Is it possible to somehow specify this option in the configuration files to make it the default?
that I have not tried! I’ve always seen it passed in on the command line, and was wondering the same thing myself last night while working on an app that uses datadir=

Ah, it seems like -datadir= is the exception for the zcash.conf. Bitcoin has the same thing… only bitcoin-qt (which calls bitcoind) can save a configuration to start the client with the modified directory location each time.
Storing datadir in zcash.conf is paradoxical since datadir is the directory in which zcash.conf is stored.

ezy, just
cp -rp ~/.zcash/* /new_dir
rm -rf ~/.zcash
$ ln -s /new_dir ~/.zcash
$ chown -h your_user:your_group ~/.zcash
