Hello all,
If you don't access (xmldata)dumps over NFS you can stop reading now.

*tl;dr make sure your Cloud VPS and Toolforge code accesses NFS dumps via
canonical path /public/dumps*
*Paths with hostnames hardcoded
(/mnt/nfs/dumps-clouddumps100[12].wikimedia.org <http://wikimedia.org>)
are deprecated and will stop working after Monday 28th September 2026*

Over the next few days Cloud VPS hosts will start mounting xmldatadumps at
/mnt/nfs/dumps. This move is part of the work to simplify dumps-nfs
operations (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T411248) and deprecate paths
with hardcoded hostnames.

What does this mean for your code?

If your code accesses xmldatadumps via /public/dumps symlinks in Cloud VPS
there is no action required. This location will be maintained as the public
and recommended interface to access xmldatadumps over NFS as per
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Shared_storage#/public/dumps

If your Cloud VPS/Toolforge code uses paths with hostnames hardcoded
(/mnt/nfs/dumps-clouddumps1001.wikimedia.org and /mnt/nfs/
dumps-clouddumps1002.wikimedia.org) then please change it to use
/public/dumps/public instead. The legacy locations with hostnames will be
maintained as symlinks during a transition phase up until Monday September
28th

best,
Filippo
