Connecting a brand new slave mgm to an existing master

Hello,

I reinstalled the slave manager on our production EOS cluster. The service eos@mgm refuses to start because it cannot boot the namespace. Is is true that the files (this is the in-memory namespace with files
for persistence) are not here, I was thinking that they would be automatically synchronized from the master MGM…

=> What should I do ?

Thank you

I have to apologize: the origin of my difficulties synchronizing files between the master and the new slave was a wrong /etc/eos.keytab.

Sorry, really.
