Simple question but reading through documentation and configuration I can't quite seem to figure it out.

How do I A) know where hadoop is writing to on the local disk and B) change that

For initial testing I setup HDFS on a 20gb linux VM - to it we've added a 500gb networked drive for moving towards prototyping the full system. So now how do I point HDFS at that drive, or do I simply move the home directory/install with some slight change in setup and restart the process?
