Location of /opt/NBUAppliance/db/data on 5230s

[elanmbx]

All - I have an odd situation on my 5230s.  All of them have the /opt/NBUAppliance/db/data/ directory located in the / filesystem:

app3:/opt/NBUAppliance/db # ll -d data
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 10  2014 data

Except one appliance, which has this data directory in the /config filesystem:

app5:/opt/NBUAppliance/db # ll -d data
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Apr 26 10:25 data -> /config/data

I'm planning an upgrade to 2.7.3 and was wondering if this was going to cause me any issue during the upgrade procedure.

Hi,

I am not sure but the appliance in question has different role assigned than the other ones ?

[elanmbx]

Nope - just plain old media servers.

The one that is different DOES happen to be several years newer.  I wonder if that has any bearing on this issue...

Please share output of 'df -h' on this appliance.

Are you sure they're all with the same version? 

I checked in some of the appliances I have access to, 2.7.x & 2.6.1.2. They are all pointing to  /config/data.

/opt/NBUAppliance/db/data -> /config/data

Just to follow-up - this discrepancy did not have any negative effect on my upgrade.  I suspect that perhaps it has something to do with whatever the *original* version installed on the appliance was, but that's just a guess at this point.
