Please note, the command should be executed before you run Qdrant server.
## Can't open Collections meta Wal
When starting a Qdrant instance as part of a distributed deployment, you may
come across an error message similar to this:
```bash
Can't open Collections meta Wal: Os { code: 11, kind: WouldBlock, message: "Resource temporarily unavailable" }
```
It means that Qdrant cannot start because a collection cannot be loaded. Its
associated [WAL](../../concepts/storage/#versioning) files are currently
unavailable, likely because the very same files are already being used by
another Qdrant instance.
Each node must have their own separate storage directory, volume or mount.
The formed cluster will take care of sharing all data with each node, putting it
all in the correct places for you. If using Kubernetes, each node must have
their own volume. If using Docker, each node must have their own storage mount
or volume. If using Qdrant directly, each node must have their own storage
directory.
