We are having a production JIRA with issues upto 2 lacs. The attachment directory specifically is consuming lot of disk space, hence we are planning to move our production JIRA_HOME directory to external location.
Can someone please help me the best approach.
It is not advisable to move your entire JIRA_HOME onto external storage as this may have a noticeable performance impact on your Jira instance.
To store your attachments on external storage, I would recommend to move only the attachments folder and then create a symbolic link from the JIRA_HOME to where you have moved the attachments.
In Linux, use the ln command.
Move your attachments folder to your external storage and then create a symbolic link in the <JIRA_HOME>/data/ folder to where you've moved your attachments:
$ cd <JIRA_HOME>/data
$ ln -sf /path/to/attachments attachments
$ ls -l
total 0
