Hi Andy, I have many erratic problems with the bbrprod0X servers inhibiting the use of xrootd for the skim production. I cannot reliable reproduce the errors, but about 30% of the transfers fail. The tracebacks are similar to the one posted by Alvise and myself to xrootd-l. Questions: - Are you (or somebody else) actively looking into these issues? We need to get this solved by early next week. - Which version(s) of xrootd are running on bbrprod0X? Can you please start the latest version on all of them? - I can get a checksum only from bbrprod05. Do you know what the problem is? There is a test perl script at /afs/slac.stanford.edu/u/br/bbrskim/releases/test-16.0.1a/workdir/ testPAdmin.pl which exercises the functionality which we need. BTW: we gave up to get it to work using olb on the time scale of next week. We will be happy if the functionality required by testPAdmin.pl works for all 5 bbrprod0X machines.
