Bug in NFS

[David Isaac Wolinsky]

There is a bug in the grid-appliance-nfs package that will cause files
stored in /mnt/local to be deleted upon upgrades or removal of the
package. This serves as a recommendation to either disable automatic
updates, make a backup of /mnt/local, or do something else. In the next
week, a new version will be updated on the website. So please take heed
of the warning. The optimal solution is to do the following:

sudo bash
mv /mnt/local /mnt/local_temp
ln -s /mnt/local_temp /mnt/local
chown :users -R /mnt/local
chmod 775 -R /mnt/local
exit

For those interested in installing the package early, follow these steps:
sudo bash
mv /mnt/local /mnt/tmp
wget
http://www.grid-appliance.org/files/packages/deb/grid-appliance-nfs_0.02_all.deb
dpkg --install grid-appliance-nfs_0.02_all.deb
rmdir /mnt/local
mv /mnt/tmp /mnt/local
exit

Note: This and the grid-appliance-autofs (already deployed on the
server apt-get update; apt-get upgrade) allows mounting the local nfs as
RW through /mnt/ganfs/$hostname ... both packages are required (.02 of
NFS and .03 autofs).
