Hi, With the xrootd-20060307-0546 version I can no longer get a a write via redirector to work. For some reason the leaf nodes seem not to be eligible and I always get "client defered" messages. The exact same configuration files I use are working fine with an older xrootd version I still had (20050728.0310). Has anybody observed similar problems? Tonight I won't start to debug, but I will investigate tomorrow. Is maybe now an "olb.perf" line necessary for this to work? I attach my config files (I went through several permutations. Tried "inplace" and cache based writes). Error message I receive: Receive from merlin00: 7167 select c /tmp/feichtinger/xrootd/ns/test2 060405 16:09:30 11641 SelServer client defered; not enough servers for /tmp/feichtinger/xrootd/ns/test2 060405 16:09:30 11641 do_Select Select delay merlin00 15 ...
