Hi, I'm trying to set up some new systems which are going ro server out two namespaces: /store which will be read only and stagable from tape /prod which will be read/write and not backed by tape I've created the two directories under the localroot and set the following options in the xrootd.cf file: #OLB Configuration olb.path s /store olb.path rw /prod #OSS Configuration oss.localroot /stage/xrootd-data1/kanga oss.path /store r/o mig inplace oss.path /prod r/w nomig nostage nodread oss.mssgwcmd /opt/xrootd/ads/MSSGet.pl oss.stagecmd |/opt/xrootd/utils/mps_prep However if I try to write to /prod using xrdcp I get the following error: Error accessing path/file for root://gdss102.gridpp.rl.ac.uk//prod/test/gdss102-1.01.root With the following error in xrdlog: 070731 15:30:21 541 XrootdXeq: brew.24131:17@lcgui0360 login Failed to get path for /prod/test/gdss102-1.01.root at /opt/xrootd/ads/MSSGet.pl line 23 Couldn't stat file /prod/test/gdss102-1.01.root at /opt/xrootd/ads/MSSGet.pl line 28. 070731 15:30:21 541 oss_XrdOssMSS_Xeq: Unable to execute statx; operation not permitted 070731 15:30:21 541 ofs_open: brew.24131:17@lcgui0360 Unable to create /prod/test/gdss102-1.01.root; Operation not permitted 070731 15:30:21 541 XrootdXeq: brew.24131:17@lcgui0360 disc 0:00:00 Which looks like it's trying to talk to the MSS to ask whether it can place the file. The if I look at the log file from xrootd starting I see: oss.path /prod r/w check nodread mig nomkeep nomlock nommap norcreate nostage ----------------------------------^^^ So even though I specified nomig in the config file it's actually setting the mig option. If I comment out the oss.mssgwcmd and oss.stagecmd options then the /prod area works as expected but obviously staging to the /store area fails. Is this a bug or is there a work around to let me have writable but not migratable and stagable areas on the same server. Thanks, Chris P.s. I tried replacing oss.path with oss.export but it didn't make any difference.
