These come from your Forest definitions.
You will find them as the "Data Directory" field in the Admin GUI under Forests.
ML doesn’t change the values you type in.  This is true on all OS' s but more 
evident in windows
because of case insensitive names, and mixed conventions for \ vs / (ML accepts 
both).
Usually it’s a mistake to use different equivalent values but not always, there 
are good cases where
you might want to use separate names even if they refer to the same directory 
or volume, such as using symbolic links so you can move the data around later 
without reconfiguring.
In the server the actual volume associated with the directory is known, but 
this is not used to consolidate the display.
There are common cases where using the OS level volume ID is misleading such as 
network attached storage,
logical volumes, HDFS etc.   The server accommodates these issues (possibility 
of different paths referring to the same physical volume or directory) by 
keeping all Forest ID's unique, and by using the Forest name as a containing 
directory.

To fix this you will need to be careful, the admin GUI won't let you change the 
directory name of a forest after its created.   If this is a critical 
production system then I recommend contacting support for help on fixing this 
on a live system.    For a non critical system do this.

Take note of your exact directory names and forest names as they are currently 
configured.
Stop the server and *MAKE A BACKUP*  of your data directories and the marklogic 
configuration directory.
Disable the database and the forests and detach the forests from the database
Delete the old forests, but make sure to select the "Configuration Only" option 
(it's on the delete confirmation page)

Recreate new forests using exactly the same name (case, spelling identical as 
before).
Double checkin your filesystem for how the directory names for the forests are 
used, in the Forests subdirectory
of the data directory.
For the Data directory pick a consistent case and / usage and use it exactly 
the same for all forests
in that directory and create a forest for each.  The system will detect the old 
data and use it.

Then attach the new forests to your database and enable the database and 
forests.
You should be good to go.  Note that this will have assigned new forest IDs and 
you should do a
fresh marklogic backup.

If you need help for a critical or production system contact marklogic support.

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Monitoring Dashboard question

Hi,

when looking at

http://localhost:8002/dashboard/disk-space/

I see the disk space available. In the below screenshot you'll see that for 
some reason the Dashboard shows the same directory twice, and even with 
different values for each. As you'll notice we're running this on Windows, and 
apparently, the dashboard considers these two different 'expressions' to be 
different directories.

E:\MarkLogicData
E:/MarkLogicData/

Thanks for letting me know how I can consolidate them; where do these locations 
come from?

cheers,
Jakob.
