Opsworks on Chef 11.10

[khoan]

Hi,

an SSD is mounted at /usr/local

ark kept on failing to install and link packages, e.g. as used by elasticsearch to install and link elasticsearch, My guess is custom recipes, which use ark, run before opsworks can have a chance to finish setting up the necessary directory structure, in this case /usr/local/bin.

When I start the box without any custom recipe and allow it to setup fully, then run custom recipe, which use ark, then custom recipe completes successfully. Not sure if there's any event that opsworks publishes where ark can wait upon for opsworks to finish setup directory structures before ark does its thing.

Thoughts? Any one experience similar behavior? What's your workaround, other than what I mentioned above? Is this the wrong place to ask/discuss?

turns mounting at /usr/local is problematic
