Task #5022
Updated by Massimiliano Assante almost 9 years ago
Although we don't use Liferay’s Documents and Media Library in gCube, this is used by Liferay internals for storing some data such as user and sites images/logo pictures and static content. Liferay’s Documents and Media Library is capable of mounting several repositories at a time while presenting a unified interface to the user, for the time being we will use NFS on the SAN, so basically the directory for the document_library present in /home/life/D4Science-production-gateway/data/document_library of all nodes should be mounted on the SAN. The disk size should not be more than 5GB, as in this moment the size of the document library data is 10MB. However this solution is not optimal as it introduces another SPOF, therefore in the medium term, since Liferay 6.2 supports Amazon’s simple storage service (S3) it would be beneficial to switch to it.
