Working now and your suggestion was part of the solution. I had tried the tomcat service change but on double checking I had ReadWritePaths=/geoserver-blobstore
instead of ReadWritePaths=/geoserver-blobstore/ missing slash at end. It didn't work though on restart. I then checked the other writable directories mentioned in that file and set the blobstore target to be the same as follows: drwxrwxr-x 3 root tomcat 28 Feb 8 11:02 geoserver-blobstore The 2 important bits in bold...set the folder writable to the tomcat group and set the folder group to tomcat. Now its working. Thanks for your help Ian.
