/dev/shm is RAM disk. Will this work?
xrdcp file root://host//dev/shm/file

Subject: directing xrootd server traffic to /dev/null
Hello,
We want determine the transfer speeds of a few xrootd client machines (as data sources). Is there a configuration setting to allow xrootd server to write the file to /dev/null?
I have done a trick of creating a symlink in the file system to /dev/null. This is a less than ideal solution. While the initial part of the transfer goes well eventually it slows down significantly.
I see the delay comes with this command - 220207 09:17:01 6324 benjamin.230610:[log in to unmask] ofs_close: use=1 fn=/data/xrootd/null
Since I will want to stress test the clients. I want to saturate their output using xrdcp (xrdcopy) any suggestions?
Regards,
Doug Benjamin
