Description Takayoshi Kimura 2018-01-26 01:09:14 UTC

Description of problem:

Installer supports NFS setup for logging and metrics but these combo are not supported nor recommended. These NFS support by installer should be removed as it's misleading.

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:

Many users got NFS setup for their logging and metrics because of misleading NFS support by installer. Then they got data corruption and told "it's not supported" in a support case.

Expected results:

NFS should be avoided for logging and metrics storage.

Additional info:
Please attach logs from ansible-playbook with the -vvv flag
