Creating MetaDB
I'm trying create metadb's. I'm telling them to live on mounted partitions. Is this acceptable?

No,

metadbs need their own partitions.

The rule is 3mb per state db replica, and you'll want a minimum of 3 replicas on each disk. 20mb is more than sufficient and allows you create additional db replicas if necessary.
