UForge Repository on Shared StorageΒΆ

When using shared storage NFS is used to share the information between the various UForge nodes. To setup the NAS or SAN for the UForge Repository you must create two shared directories, one for the operating system data and the other for all the user data (My Software and images generated).

To setup the shared storage:

  1. Log in to the machine where the NFS server is running

  2. Create the operating system directory, for example: /volume1/DISTROS

    The following NFS options are required:

    *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure_locks,anonuid=0,anongid=0)

  3. Create the user data directory, for example: /volume1/USER_DATA

    The following NFS options are required:

    *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure_locks,anonuid=0,anongid=0)

  4. Check the mount points:

    mount 192.20.777.205:/volume1/USER_DATA/ /mnt
su - tomcat
cd /mnt

  5. Execute the command:

    touch test

  6. If it returns:

    touch: cannot touch `test': Permission denied

    Then execute the following commands (as root)

    cd /mnt
chown -R tomcat:tomcat .

  7. Confirm you can create a file on /mnt as user tomcat. Then perform the following:

    cd ~
umount /mnt
