Hey David,
You are correct. You can do 1 of two things here:
1) Mount your 1TB volume to /var/lib/riak. All ring, and backend data will be
stored there.
2) Mount your volume somewhere like /data/riak and switch the platform_data_dir
config option to reflect that mounted path.
If you wanted to snapshot your riak data, it all lives in platform_data_dir
Hope this helps,
Sean
