Hi Andy; I'm testing xrootd in writing mode (opening a file in "recreate" mode which perfectly works). I killed xrootd during writing, then I resumed it and when the client tried to reopen it in write mode I got this error message: 040914 17:28:48 9148 alvise.0:[log in to unmask] ofs_close: lnks=2 pi=5 fn=/tmp/file 040914 17:28:48 9148 XrootdXeq: Output file /tmp/file is already opened by 1 writer; open denied. 040914 17:28:48 9148 alvise.0:[log in to unmask] XrootdResponse: 0001 sending err 3003: Output file /tmp/file is already opened by 1 writer; open denied. Is it supposed to act like this or is it an error ? thanks Alvise
