719547 - [mozillians] Link userpics NFS storage to /media

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: WebOps: Other, task)

Description

[Dave Dash [:davedash, :dd] (assign all bugs to mbrandt)]

We need to serve the items in our NFS storage via our web server as static assets.

My best guess is:

/media/uploads should be a symlink to settings.NETAPP_STORAGE

if we can make under settings.NETAPP_STORAGE a userpics directory that would be great too.  We can test that this works by going to:

mozillians/media/uploads/userpics/foo.txt

This needs to be done in all three environments.

If this can be done in dev sooner than later that'll unblock QA.

/media/uploads is currently managed by git and symlinks to ../tmp. Can we remove this?
