/DATA, /POOL, broker dns aliases

cowanml commented 8 years ago

Was doing some fs work on 5id and had this doc pointed out to me. https://github.com/NSLS-II/docs/blob/master/deploying/metadatastore.rst

There is not yet a consistent standard (we're working on it) for filesystem naming :( /DATA and /POOL are not ubiquitous.
We don't have any write-once filesystems; there's no need for data and analysis to be on different filesystems.
The "broker" dns alias just adds complexity. It's much easier to edit/manage/debug the conf files for mds and fs than to make dns changes

FYI That document is old and, although it's extant in the repository, it's not actually linked in the published documentation generated from that repo AFAIK.

I've added a comment to the top of the file that some of the information might be out of date. As this file isn't linked to from anywhere I don't see it will cause much harm.
