For example, if `location = "/my/home/"`, the file `/my/home/tmp/file.txt` will only store as "/tmp/file.txt". When reading back, the prefix will be transparently added back. This trimming saves some storage, but that is not the purpose. This means the path-specific filer store can later change `location` to another directory, or even another filer.
