Hi all

CernVM-FS has a version for macOS, installation and configuration seem to work, but you will not generate tasks for macOS ? the app is not "portable" ?


Other question : on a linux debian Virtual Machine (AWS) I could not do the setup of CernVM-FS, : installation and setup seemed OK (explanations from the CernVM-FS page) but then at the "probe" step of the explanation topic here I only get errors.

Thanks.

For my linux VM issue : in default.local I have this

CVMFS_REPOSITORIES=atlas.cern.ch,atlas-condb.cern.ch,grid.cern.ch,cernvm-prod.cern.ch,sft.cern.ch,alice.cern.ch
CVMFS_QUOTA_LIMIT=4096
CVMFS_CACHE_BASE=/scratch/cvmfs
CVMFS_HTTP_PROXY=DIRECT

but then

cvmfs_config probe
Probing /cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch... Failed!
Probing /cvmfs/atlas-condb.cern.ch... Failed!
Probing /cvmfs/grid.cern.ch... Failed!
Probing /cvmfs/cernvm-prod.cern.ch... Failed!
Probing /cvmfs/sft.cern.ch... Failed!
Probing /cvmfs/alice.cern.ch... Failed!

Is it because "you cannot run a VM in a VM" ?

This shouldn't be necessary.
Just run a linux VM directly on the host.

What could be an issue:
- Do you use bridged or NAT network?
- Did you set your firewall accordingly?
- Did you check the VM's automounter setup?
(see: https://cvmfs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cpt-quickstart.html)

I don't know much about all this, I use a small "preinstalled" linux VM from a cloud provider (OVH) but I don't really know how to check and/or "configure" any of these...

However with your comment I realized that maybe I had missed some steps and I ran again

cvmfs_config setup
sed -i 's%#+dir:/etc/auto.master.d%+dir:/etc/auto.master.d%' /etc/auto.master
systemctl restart autofs

and after that the probe was a success, all OK !

So I gave it a try again with another task

<core_client_version>7.6.33</core_client_version>

I also tried this :

It did that looping the same errors a number of times and stopped...

I also tried this from the doc you mention :
mkdir -p /mnt/cvmfs
mount -t cvmfs repository.cern.ch /mnt/cvmfs
CernVM-FS: running with credentials 108:112
CernVM-FS: loading Fuse module... Failed to initialize root file catalog (16 - file catalog failure)

I think all this is way too "raw" for me and my beta testing will end here :)

Did you configure/restart the automounter service?
See Jerome's post and https://cvmfs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cpt-quickstart.html.

With a little help from my friends I was able to make it work in my Linux VPS.

One of l'AF member wrote a Linux Debian memo (Debian 9 Stretch) and it worked for me, I think some steps were missing in the provided instructions here (and cvmfs website) :

1. CVMFS Installation

su (switch to root superuser) (*)
wget https://ecsft.cern.ch/dist/cvmfs/cvmfs-release/cvmfs-release-latest_all.deb
dpkg -i cvmfs-release-latest_all.deb
rm -f cvmfs-release-latest_all.deb
apt update
apt install cvmfs

2. Various setups (superuser also)

wget https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/download/default.local -O /etc/cvmfs/default.local
mkdir -p /etc/auto.master.d/
echo "/cvmfs /etc/auto.cvmfs" > /etc/auto.master.d/cvmfs.autofs
systemctl restart autofs
cvmfs_config probe
echo "kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
sysctl -p
gpasswd -a boinc cvmfs

3. Restart BOINC client

systemctl restart boinc-client


I got 12 tasks successfully calculated since yesterday evening.

Big thanks to ElGrande (one of) our Linux guru :)

Considering all the setup and the difficulty to make this application work, this is frankly not a beta, it is an alpha app !!


(*) I was not able to do this, my password would always fail and I know it is the right password, so I prefixed all the above commands with "sudo" and then it worked
