I installed Splunk 8 splunk-8.0.0-1357bef0a7f6-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm on RedHat 7.6 , it was installed under /opt later due to low space i added new disk and mount the new partition of new disk on /opt and moved all the data from original /opt to new /opt

And i tried to restart the splunk server using "systemctl restart splunk" it failed with this message

Job for splunk.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status splunk.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details

I checked the permissions for /opt/splunk are set to splunk:splunk

Try to do rsync from old directory to new directory, probably this will solves the issue.

Example command: rsync -avzh
