Hello,

I am curious to know what does the "FS" acronym mean in "Remote FS root"? 
It is displayed on any node configuration page.


I know what the "Remote FS root" is, I am just looking for the meaning of the acronym.

Thanks,

Richard Bywater

File System.

Then the label (in DumbSlave/configure-entries.jelly) ought to be
changed. Is “Remote working directory” clearer? Though this might
imply that it is the working directory of builds ($PWD / ${user.dir} /
etc.), when that is generally ${remoteFS}/workspace/${job.fullName}.
“Remote root directory”?

I agree Remote root directory does sound better than working directory and does hold a lot more meaning and sense than Remote FS as a directory really isn't the same thing as a file system.

Richard.
