Hello, I setup a small staging config on one of our servers but since then DIR_LOCK files keep appearing and never disappear. Moreover, these locks not only appear for the staged section (/store) but also the non-staged one (/prod). They cause some problems when we want to remove some files in the /prod directory and I would therefore like to get rid of these locks. How could I do that (ie. what am I doing wrong)? Here is the dataserver configuration file: # The Open Distributed Cache Section # odc.manager l01-001-122.gridka.de 3121 # The Open Load Balancer Section # olb.allow host l01-001-122.gridka.de olb.path w /prod olb.path s /store olb.port 3121 olb.sched cpu 100 olb.subscribe l01-001-122.gridka.de # The Open File System Section # ofs.redirect remote if l01-001-122.gridka.de ofs.redirect target # The Open Storage System Section (cache & localroot are used by olb) # oss.alloc * * 80 oss.fdlimit * max oss.localroot /home/xrootd/disk/ olb.cache public /home/xrootd/disk/babar* oss.stage oss.stagecmd /home/xrootd/bin/stage oss.mssgwcmd /home/xrootd/bin/mssgwcmd oss.nocheck oss.nodread oss.norcreate oss.xfr 8 # The XROOTD Section # xrootd.async off xrootd.export /prod xrootd.chksum crc32 /home/xrootd/bin/getCRC32.sh xrootd.export /store xrootd.fslib /home/xrootd/software/current/lib/libXrdOfs.so Cheers, -- Gregory
