Have you looked at https://github.com/sassoftware/viya4-deployment/blob/main/docs/CONFIG-VARS.md#storage ?

[miaeyg]

Yes, I am aware that these options are documented but I cannot find anywhere within the project where they are actually being used. I searched all files for these two variables and got zero results. I am wondering if these options are being used at all...

Hey @miaeyg.

I do see that we create the astores and bin directory here https://github.com/sassoftware/viya4-deployment/blob/main/roles/jump-server/tasks/main.yml#L41 but it's always going to be created under JUMP_SVR_RWX_FILESTORE_PATH

Looking at old PRs when this V4_CFG_RWX_FILESTORE_ASTORES_PATH was initially renamed it seems that it was never used then either, perhaps it was a placeholder? PR #43

An internal Jira story will be created to track this.
