I tried to change GeoServer data directory to /var/lib/geoserver_data and then I changed data directory in /etc/init.d/geoserver and /etc/default/geoserver to /var/lib/geoserver_data however I did define var/lib/geoserver_data as a default directory but I see default directory is /usr/share/geoserver/webapps/geoserver/data, I should mention this problem when happen my system runs GeoServer as service: If I stop GeoServer as a service and launch that by sudo ./startup.sh I can see in my web administrator interface my default directory is /var/lib/geoserver_data, I am going to know how I can change GEOSERVER_DATA_DIRECTORY to /var/lib/geoserver_data instead of /usr/share/geoserver/webapps/geoserver/data when GeoServer is running as a service, This is my GeoServer config in /etc/init.d/geoserver and /etc/default/geoserver and GeoServer web.xml:

PARTIAL-BUFFER2
- Partially buffers the first xKb to disk. Once that has buffered, the the
result is streamed to the user. This will allow for most errors to be caught
early.
BUFFER
- stores the entire response in memory first, before sending it off to
the user (may run out of memory)
SPEED
- outputs directly to the response (and cannot recover in the case of an
error)
FILE
- outputs to the local filesystem first, before sending it off to the user
