Zhimeng Shi commented on BOOKKEEPER-1099:
-----------------------------------------
I think the problem now is how do we mount the disks. in Salesforce we will
mount them on upper level folder like the /data1/bookkeeper and
/data2/bookkeeper. In Twitter you will mount them directly on the final folder,
I think that is fine for different preference. So I have another proposal may
resolve this problem better:
1. Add a new function like CheckAndInitFolders(), which will only create the
folders when found they are not exist. This way can avoid the risk to loss data
like calling format automatically.
2. Make this function call configurable in config file. So in Salesforce we
will enable it, and in Twitter you can disable it. Actually even enable it will
not do harm because it will first check if the folder already exist, which is
true in your case.
Is that good for you?

> When bookie start and found it need run bookie format to create folders it
> should do that automatically. That way will make new machine deployment and
