EOS and XRootD client access

The XRootD/EOS entry point (instance server) for your files in CERNbox is root://eosuser.cern.ch and your user directories are under /eos/user/<initial>/<userid>, (e.g. /eos/user/l/laman)

• To create a directory:

% eos mkdir /eos/user/<initial>/<userid>/<my_directory>, (e.g. % eos mkdir /eos/user/l/laman/office_plans)

Note

If you are using EOS for both CERNBox and your experiment be sure to verify which instance of EOS you are querying when running EOS commands.

One way to force an EOS command to query a specific instance is to specify the server for that instance in the command line: % eos <instance server> <command> Exemples - to list laman's files in CERNBox, % eos root://eosuser.cern.ch ls /eos/user/l/laman - to query EOSCMS, % eos root://eoscms.cern.ch <command>
