1020901 - oddity with symbols_upload symlink in Stage

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: Infra, task)

Description

[Daniel Maher [:phrawzty]]

Something is causing the symbols_upload symlink in stage (which was previously functional) to be removed and replaced with an actual directory, with said symlink underneath.

Before:
[[e-mail]1 media]$ pwd
/data/socorro/webapp-django/media
[[e-mail]1 media]$ ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jun  5 03:06 symbols_upload -> /mnt/socorro/symbols_upload

Now:
[[e-mail]1 media]$ pwd
/data/socorro/webapp-django/media
[[e-mail]1 media]$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 27 Jun  5 03:06 symbols_upload
[[e-mail]1 media]$ ls -l symbols_upload/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jun  5 03:06 symbols_upload -> /mnt/socorro/symbols_upload

I noticed this yesterday and fixed it manually (thinking it was a one-off issue related to the botched deployment on Monday), but clearly the issue re-appeared, so it must be something in the automation.

Actually, I noticed and repaired it in Prod yesterday, not in Stage; that said, my manual repair is still in place on Stage, and since deployments happen regularly, we can assume that the errant behaviour has been cleared up.

Sorry for the noise.
