[CernVM-FS documentation / debug-logs](https://cvmfs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cpt-configure.html#debug-logs)
for more information. Note that the debug log will log every operation in CVMFS and generates large files - it should be turned back off after capturing an issue.

!!! warning
Make sure that the `cvmfs` user actually has write permission to the location specified with `CVMFS_DEBUGLOG`.
Otherwise you will not only get no log file, but it will also lead to client failures.

An interesting command for mounted repositories is
``` { .bash .copy }
attr -g logbuffer /cvmfs/software.eessi.io
