The CentOS-HPC:7.7:20200626 image breaks the MDS install script.  Specifically, the new image creates a swapfile on /dev/sdb (/mnt/resource/swapfile). This is the disk the MDS tries to use but it can't 'umount /mnt/resource" because its in use by the swapfile.  A quick workaround is to add "swapoff /mnt/resource/swapfile" to the lfspkg.sh script in the Cyclecloud Default spec.
