Masternode data on non-root volume

Personally, I don't like having my dash config under ~/.dash, which is on the Linux root volume in virtually all installations. If you've ever filled up a root volume on Linux and tried to repair/expand it, you know why.
So in the upgrade to 12.1 I moved my dash config and corresponding data to a secondary volume under /mnt/data.

If anyone else wants to do this, you'll need to keep a couple of things in mind when following the installation guides:

  1. Your dash commands (dash-cli, dashd) will need to include the -datadir option. For example:

    dash-cli -datadir=/mnt/data/dashcore getblockcount
  2. I got errors running sentinel commands (JSONRPC error) until I realized that sentinel also has a config file that needs to be adjusted with the location of your (non-default) dash data directory. Edit sentinel.conf and add the location of your dash.conf:

    dash_conf=/mnt/data/dashcore/dash.conf
