Feel free to post any comments on the beta version and the Docker approach in general here. ID: 52944 · Reply Quote

Yes seems good. Not sure if Alice connection is needed? https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=432028757 Not sure if this is even supposed to work but, the container is not pauseable it seems. https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=432080786 ID: 52945 · Reply Quote

Atlas_native runs fine. Is it possible to go with cvmfs of host? ID: 52946 · Reply Quote

The default.local file should include: CVMFS_REPOSITORIES="grid,sft,alice" ID: 52947 · Reply Quote

The default.local file should include: CVMFS_REPOSITORIES="grid,sft,alice" Thank you Laurence! Think CVMFS on the host is ok: $ 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/sft-nightlies.cern.ch... OK Probing /cvmfs/alice.cern.ch... OK Probing /cvmfs/atlas-nightlies.cern.ch... OK Probing /cvmfs/unpacked.cern.ch... OK Edit: to be shure I gave it another try. Same result https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=432120894 for my understanding chmod: changing permissions of '/cvmfs': Operation not permitted Does that mean something within the container or a manipulation of CVMFS on the host system?
