Hello Community,

This is first time I am using the Percona Operator for MongoDB. I have deployed a sharded cluster, however, I would like to use my own data mount naming convention. Additionally, I would like to have different volume for log and journals.

How can I achieve this, is there an example you could share ?

Hello @ugo ,

both things are not possible yet.

1. I would imaging that adding more volumes is something that we were thinking about.
2. Whereas using different naming convention is not on our radar. Is there any specific reason for that?

Hello @Sergey_Pronin ,

Thank you for the reply.

By naming convention i wanted to customize the path. Example:

```auto
/log/mongodb/mongo.log 
/journal/mongo/
/mongodata/<rs-name>/db/ 

```

@ugo but why would you want to do that?
