 This feature allows access to :ref:`erasure coding dependent features <minio-erasure-coding>` without the requirement of multiple drives.
 The specified data volume or folder *must* be empty *or* only contain files generated by a previous |SNSD| deployment.
 
-Starting MinIO against a folder with existing filesystem data (e.g. not MinIO-created or managed) retains the legacy filesystem behavior. Specifically:
+Use an earlier version of MinIO to retain the legacy filesystem-access behavior.
 
-- Top-level folders at the starting path become MinIO buckets.
-- Files in folders within the starting path become objects within the MinIO buckets.
-- Files in the top-level starting path do not display in MinIO.
+.. admonition:: MinIO Avoids Root Disks
+   :class: important
 
-Consider a starting path with the following structure:
+   MinIO by default avoids using the root OS disk as part of startup and returns an error if the specifid path is part of the root disk.
 
-.. code-block:: 
-   
-   /data
-      file.txt
-      /foo
-         file2.txt
-      /bar
-         file3.txt
+   You can specify the environment variable ``MINIO_CI_CD=1`` to allow using root disks.
 
-When you deploy the server with a starting path of ``/data``, MinIO displays the data as follows:
-
-- Two buckets, ``foo`` and ``bar``
-- ``file2.txt`` displays in the ``foo`` bucket 
-- ``file3.txt`` displays in the ``bar`` bucket
-- ``file.txt`` does not display in MinIO anywhere, but remains available through the file system
-
-A MinIO deployment in filesystem mode does *not* support any :ref:`erasure coding features <minio-erasure-coding>` such as versioning or object locking.
+   This variable is intended primarily for CI/CD environments or local testing/evaluation.
+   MinIO does not support usage outside of those specific use cases.
