We are attempting to mount our knowledge bundle and we are recieving some errors in splunk:
[Indexername] Failed to create bundles setup with server name "SearchHeadName". Using peer's local bundles to execute the search, results might not be correct.

[Indexername] Bundle Mounting: could not find system dir in bundles_location, distsearch.conf stanza=searchhead:SearchHeadName, bundles_location="\\"SearchHeadName"\"splunk_knowledge_bundle, search head server_name=SearchHeadName

does anyone know how to resolve these errors?

We found the issue to be related to folders placed in the mounted bundle location. You needed to place folders etc, system, and users. This resolved our issues.

This does not solve the issue. Splunk version 6.0.5, same error even though the mounted bundle location contains the folders etc, system, and users.
