Hi Remi, I have restarted xrootd on brprod01 through 04. I did not change any releases. Frankly, I don't know which release Pete wants to run. Now, on that note, bbdatsrv is fully privileged to activate releases using /opt/xrootd/activate and can also restart all components of the system. As for the entries below. The first from Alvise was unresolved because we couldn't reproduce it here. In fact. we have never experienced this problem here. Now, Alvise does at times run test/dev releases and also runs a Linux system, both variables that are difficult to reproduce. The second log entry is unrelated to the first. It indicates a clear client problem. The problem did not appear to cause the server any problems. In fact, in the past month we have had only two server crashes. Each appeared to be related to a misbehaving test client. The fix for that problem will be corrected in the next release (it's already committed), though I doubt it's a real issue since the circumstances under which the server would encounter the problem are very rare. I'll be going to CERN tomorrow so I won't be able to respond to e-mail until I get a hold of a machine. That's likely to be Monday.
