Hi All,

I won't be able to attend the meeting, so I post the state of CNAF farm now.

For the moment we have no problems. The olbd.wait directive problems 
seems to be solved.
We have a procedure (in crontab) that restarts xrootd/olbd if they 
crash. This script sends an email of notification for each restart.

Xrootd is running on SAN servers without problems.

Cheers,
Enrica
