CernVM Filesystem

CVMFS is a network filesystem optimised for sharing data for software development. Thus by design in should be faster and more reliable for software development than AFS.

CMSSW can be easily used via CVMFS from LXPLUS:

ssh lxplus

export VO_CMS_SW_DIR="/cvmfs/cms.cern.ch"
source "$VO_CMS_SW_DIR/cmsset_default.sh"

scram project CMSSW CMSSW_x_x_x
