+On the first example, the bulk of the free space is on Centos-home (so /home) so any folders/files must exist under this directory.

+On the second example, the bulk of the free space is on var (/var) so any folders/files must exist under this directory.
+\\
+\\
+Using the first example where our free space is mostly located at /home, we can create some directories.
+\\
+\\
+First I will create a MEDIA directory under home. Navigate to the home directory (cd /home) and then create the MEDIA directory (mkdir MEDIA).
+\\
+\\
+Now I want two more folders, sources and output. Navigate to the MEDIA directory you just created (cd /home/MEDIA) and create the two folders (mkdir sources and mkdir output).
+\\
+\\
+Navigate back to the home folder (cd /home).
+\\
+\\
+We now have to ensure that the Encoding on Demand product has rights to read, write and create files and folders. The way to do this is to grant ownership of the folders we just create to the On Demand software (it is granted to a built in user).
+\\
+\\
+From the console/home directory use **chown -R ericsson:ericsson /home/MEDIA**. This will grant ownership of the MEDIA directory, and all directories in MEDIA to the user ericsson.
+\\
+\\
+Thats it, you should now be able to put source files in /home/MEDIA/sources and the On Demand software will create output files/directories in the /home/MEDIA/output directory.
