perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi,

Ugh I think there is an old script getting run by the RPM that does this. It actually takes at least one (and possibly a couple depending on your setup) updates of the perfsonar-toolkit package to manifest itself since the info may get restored later during the RPM process from old files. Unfortunately, once it’s lost it appears the only way to restore it is by manually adding it back like you did. The fact that it takes multiple updates caused it to slip through our testing. Working on a fix now and thanks for reporting. I apologize for the inconvenience, this is the type of thing we try really hard to prevent.

Thanks,

Andy

I experienced the same problem, and first noticed it Monday. I don't know when the info disappeared, since I don't frequently look at that info. Since I only have a few PS hosts, I just manually edited/saved the data through the GUI.

I don’t know if anyone have posted this or not, I will just write something here for someone else to quickly fix the problem.
