Cloud Controller removed NFS in favor of WebDAV #128

Closed voelzmo closed 8 years ago

voelzmo commented 8 years ago

NFS blobstore isn't used anymore in Cloud Controller because of the above problems. The replacement WebDAV blobstore doesn't suffer from the same problems, so let's remove this part.

Hey @voelzmo thanks for giving us the heads-up! We'd like to preserve these instructions in the docs, because it's possible that some users will still be using older versions of CF that still used the NSF blobstore. But perhaps we should indicate in a note that after a certain CF release, the NSF blobstore has been replaced by WebDAV, so these instructions are only relevant for deployments of previous versions of CF. What do you think of that solution?

voelzmo commented 8 years ago

@bentarnoff Sounds reasonable, depending on what the support policy is. How many versions are still actively supported?

As a landmark: cf-release 231 introduced the WebDAV blobstore in favor of NFS: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-release/releases/tag/v231 cf-release 231 was released on February 23, 2016.

Hey @voelzmo we don't have an official support policy because this is open-source, but we host documentation aimed at a range of different CF versions, including those that still use the DEA architecture. I've added a note to this section explaining that CF versions 231 and later introduced WebDAV as the protocol rather than NFS. I'm closing this for now, but thanks again for bringing this to our attention and feel free to get in touch with any further feedback in the future.
