Is there a reason you wouldn't symlink or bind-mount /var/lib/samba to
point to your shared disk? This is the FHS-mandated location for such
data, and everything in this directory (not just the secrets.tdb) would
be relevant to an HA system. There is very little reason why it should
be necessary to support arbitrary directory paths for these files in a
Debian system.
