I ran cvmfs_config stat piped to column -t -s=' '

Hi,

I installed cvmfs on an Ubuntu 24.04.

Local config /etc/cvmfs/default.local:

# Must be set: the repositories required for ATLAS/Theory
# If "CVMFS_DEFAULT_DOMAIN" is set to "cern.ch" like in /etc/cvmfs/default.d/50-cern.conf
# simple names will expand to FQRNs,
# e.g. atlas -> atlas.cern.ch
CVMFS_REPOSITORIES="atlas,atlas-condb,grid,cernvm-prod,sft,alice"

# Must be set: to ensure openhtc.io will be used
CVMFS_USE_CDN=yes

# If a local proxy <my_proxy> is available that listens at port <proxy_port>.
# Replace <my_proxy> with either:
# - the computer name of your local proxy; requires a well configured local name resolution
# - the FQDN of your local proxy; requires a well configured local name resolution
# - the IP of your local proxy
# Replace <proxy_port> with your proxy's TCP port; Squid's default would be 3128
# Pattern: CVMFS_HTTP_PROXY="http://<my_proxy>:<proxy_port>;DIRECT"
# Example: CVMFS_HTTP_PROXY="http://squid:3128;DIRECT"

# Only recommended for clusters <5 worker nodes:
# uncomment the next line if no local proxy is available.
CVMFS_HTTP_PROXY="auto;DIRECT"

# further options
CVMFS_KCACHE_TIMEOUT=2
CVMFS_MAX_RETRIES=3
CVMFS_QUOTA_LIMIT=6000
CVMFS_DEBUGLOG=/tmp/cvmfs.log

running cvmfs_config probe:

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

the 'chkconfig' command just gives a bunch of warnings on not finding an auto proxy - but I'm assuming it then falls back to DIRECT - given that the Probe succeeds?

So probe seems OK, but cvmfs_config stat gives me the following error:

cvmfs_config stat
/usr/bin/cvmfs_config: line 935: cd: /cvmfs/cvmfs-config.cern.ch: Transport endpoint is not connected

Any idea what's wrong here?

I don't know.
Maybe you didn't run cvmfs_config setup, or didn't restart autofs after making configuration changes with systemctl restart autofs?

I did all of those, to no effect.

Try this

sudo cvmfs_config umount
sudo systemctl restart autofs
sudo cvmfs_config setup
cvmfs_config probe
cvmfs_config stat


If it doesn't help, reboot, then
systemctl --no-pager status autofs
cvmfs_config probe
cvmfs_config stat

Try this

sudo cvmfs_config umount
sudo systemctl restart autofs
sudo cvmfs_config setup
cvmfs_config probe
cvmfs_config stat

That did the trick! I got a normal output from 'stat' this time.

Thanks, man!
