Why

Planning the slice that registers the APS Data Management copy of a scan file, I went to confirm the fact the whole design rests on: that /gdata/dm/2BM is readable from tomdet, over the SSH hop CORA's scan probe already uses.

It is not confirmed. The 2026-08-11 check behind HOST-2 found /gdata invisible from arcturus and covered no other host. Two successive plans carried the tomdet mount as established fact anyway.

Why it blocks rather than defaults

If tomdet cannot see the tree, CORA needs a different host or a DM-side listing interface to observe the durable copy. That is a different slice, not a setting, so guessing would mean building the wrong thing and finding out at go-live.

The DM copy is also the one that matters most: every upstream tier is capacity-purged, and /data2 was lost outright on 2026-08-14. A record naming only /local1 points at bytes that will be gone.

The row

One Blocks-go-live question in the 2-BM open-questions page, phrased so that naming whichever host can read the tree counts as a complete answer rather than a partial one.

Docs only. make docs-build passes with --strict.

The plan for registering the DM-tier copy of a scan file rested on
/gdata/dm/2BM being readable from tomdet, over the SSH hop the scan
probe already uses. That was never established. The 2026-08-11 check
behind HOST-2 found /gdata invisible from arcturus and covered no other
host, so the tomdet case is untested rather than confirmed.

It gates a design rather than a setting: if tomdet cannot see the tree,
CORA needs a different host or a DM-side listing interface to observe
the durable copy, which is a different slice from the one planned.

Ask the beamline instead of assuming, and accept a pointer to whichever
host can read it as an equally complete answer.
