I am trying to move all user data that's located at [Alf_Home]/alf_data by default to a Novell NSS volume, /media/nss/ALF_DAT_VOL1 for example. The target location is a Novell NSS file system.
The system is built with SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 with Novell OES 2 SP1.
It's running an eDirectory, NSS, and Alfresco Community Edition 3.2.
Alfresco users are authenticated against the local eDirectory LDAP.
the server has two volumes:
/ is ext3 linux file system
/media/nss is Novell NSS file system
When I experimented changing the data store location from the default to somewhere within the same volume/file-system, everything keeps working fine. But when I moved it to /media/nss/anywhere, not only alfresco won't start, the server froze everything I tried this. No relevant error/debug logs in alfresco.log. I had to power off the server and reboot to get the server back up. These steps are what I did in making these attempts:
1. stop alfresco
2. change dir.root=/media/nss/destination-dir in alfresco-global.propertities
3. change dir.root=/media/nss/destination-dir in [Alf_Home]/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/repository.properties
3. copy everything from [Alf_Home]/alf_data to /media/nss/destination-dir
4. start alfresco
Then, before the server froze, this is everything appended to the alfresco.log

13:21:48,106 INFO [org.alfresco.repo.domain.schema.SchemaBootstrap] No changes were made to the schema.
At this point, I have no clue what I should look into next. Can someone please tell what the problem is? I appreciate your help.
