I am using CVMFS (CERN Virtual Machine File System), and it works generally pretty good, but sometimes it takes a while to access a certain file, and I would like to know what is going on. Is it downloading the file I want and soon going to be ready, or is the connection down or slow, or is it caching lots of files that I didn't intend to access, and so on.
Is there a way to get information about current CVMFS transfers, and the status of the cache?
I found cvmfs_config stat [-v] which gives me the average transfer rate and amount of cache used, but it can sometimes be very slow and I'm worried about performance (if I run it in a loop to make an indicator for my desktop, for example). Also, I would like more information:
- Current transfers, X kb/s
- Which file is currently being downloaded
- Is there a connnection error, etc.
Is there any API or tool I missed to access this information?
