Description

Hey,

This was a LXPLUS (CERN cluster) related issue specifically, but yeah, moving the serverInstallPath to a /tmp/user folder solved the problem.

Thank you very much for your time,

Diego

From your log it appears the remote machine is using an AFS filesystem which is known to behave strange with Remote SSH.

Here are some steps https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/10445#issuecomment-2462790307 I recommended in the past. In addition, if you can move your serverInstallPath to a non-AFS filesystem, that would likely be the best mitigation.

Please let us know if any of these workarounds help for future folks 🙏

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by tracing how the Remote SSH extension handles serverInstallPath, then determine where AFS filesystem detection could produce a warning. Done means users are warned when the server installation path is on AFS, without affecting non-AFS paths.
