I changed the path the index database should be store at with with the Manager>System settings>general Settings > index settings path, i restarted splunk but it still shows the old paths for the index databases in the Manager. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong? My main indexer is the linux Spluk running on CentOS.

I would check in splunk/etc/splunk-launch.conf if the change has been applied and look for any indexes.conf outside the one in splunk/etc/system/default
