NFS mounts are not supported for JIRA

John McGehee March 5, 2015

Another JIRA question tells us why this is so, and that is very interesting.

Please tell me exactly what I should or should not do when upgrading from JIRA 4.0.2 to 6.3.  For example, do I avoid installing the JIRA software on an NFS mounted partition?  What about $JIRA_HOME?  And so on.

I'm not sure what more you need than the answer you've already found

The impact is simple - never put Jira's index on an NFS partition.  The index lives under $jira_home, so unless you are pulling some file system tricks, you don't want to place $jira_home on NFS.  The installation directory is probably ok though, although there's not a lot in the way of reason to place it on NFS.
