perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Daniel Doyle <>]

Hi Byron,

The paths of just about everything changed in 3.5.1 to more FHS-y locations that don’t include “/opt”. If it’s helpful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard Besides being an abstract “good thing” in terms of standards (at least according to some, YMMV), this was a change done in order to keep the Debian and CentOS versions more in line with one another which makes documentation and development more streamlined.

For more information you can check out the changelog located here: http://www.perfsonar.net/release-notes/version-3-5-1/, in particular the “Filename and Package Reorganization” part. This information was also included in the release announcement that Andy sent out a few days ago.

Do you know which file is generating this? The perfsonar-mesh-config library should have installed the “perfsonar-meshconfig-agent” cron into “/etc/cron.d” and that will correctly run the new version.

Did something change on the mesh_config RPM?  I'm getting the errors included below in the attached email, and the directory /opt/perfsonar_ps/mesh_config/  looks like this:

[bhicks@elputxay-ps1 mesh_config]$ find .
.
./etc
./etc/agent_configuration.conf.rpmnew
./bin
./lib
./lib/Net
./lib/OWP
./lib/perfSONAR_PS
./lib/perfSONAR_PS/MeshConfig
./lib/perfSONAR_PS/MeshConfig/Generators
./lib/perfSONAR_PS/Client
./scripts
./doc

A bunch of empty directories, and one file agent_configuration.conf.rpmnew


Everything else is gone.
