HI Valentin,

Which tag should we use to continue with version 4.5.6.0? Using
cvmfs_repository_tag=cernvm-system-4.5.6.0
does not seem to work.

Thanks,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,

hmmm, I just checked and it did seem to work - but maybe there’s a misunderstanding. the cvmfs_repository_tag parameter refers to the boot options here:

In a context file, the parameter is called cvmfs_tag, used like:

[ucernvm-begin]
cvmfs_tag=cernvm-system-4.5.6.0
[ucernvm-end]

Ah, right. Thought I tried this too without success - I can confirm that this works. I just tried it out again and it boots the 4.5.6. system!
