Version mismatch with version 2.12.4

Client
1

Hello,
in a recently installed client, CVMFS is at version 2.12.4, but when running the check_cvmfs.sh script, which I use to check the CVMFS health in clients, I get a mismatch error:

SERVICE STATUS: version mismatch (loaded 2.12.4.4, installed 2.12.4.0); repository revision 201

Indeed, when I check the version attribute in the mounted directory I get:

$ attr -g version /cvmfs/sie_u22.iac.es
Attribute "version" had a 8 byte value for /cvmfs/sie_u22.iac.es:
2.12.4.4

which gets mismatched against the “sanitized” 2.12.4 (which yields 2.12.4.0).

Is there something that I have to do on my side to correct this?

By the way, in another machine with cvmfs version 2.11.2.0, the version attribute for the mounted directory is 2.11.2.0, so there is no mismatch.

Hi Angel,

thanks for bringing this up. The last field ( 2.12.4.0) has never been used and was always just set to zero (until 2.12)., it should be removed. I’ll include this in the upcoming 2.12.5 patch release this week.

You can safely patch cvmfs_check.sh to ignore this mismatch in the meantime.
Cheers,
Valentin
