Probably will blog this.  When IT people say "know enough to be dangerous".  I think this situation applies.  I don't confess to be an expert in Linux.   So... when you create a local directory on a linux, point a remote NFS mount point, it's magic and works.  "if you reboot the host" the mount point is gone and the local directory "acts like a local directory".  Yeah ok, seems straight forward now. 

I did this

  • added path to js-io-rights.conf
  • deleted local directory on both *vRA appliances*
  • re-created local directory /mnt/Scratch
  • Remounted remote NFS share
  • Restarted vRO services. 
  • Tested and worked

the only thing I need help on now is adding to the /etc/fstab conf file.  This helps keep it persistent during reboots. 

Sure hope this helps someone else.
