The MagLev extents and tranlogs cannot be on an NFS mounted drive. The simplest approach is to ensure the $MAGLEV_HOME directory and its parent are on a local file system, so installer scripts will create a local data directory.

We could could add a check in update.sh, since that script downloads the GemStone tarball. But perhaps we need to check at the beginning of install.sh (or maybe even in both scripts) -- update.sh assumes $MAGLEV_HOME/.. is a safe location for the GemStone tarball, so the root problem is being on an NFS mounted drive at the time you initially "git clone" MagLev.
