Could you please be more > specific? I was digging the TXNetFile code in hope of a solution, and i found this: TXNetFile::CreateXClient // Set the timeout (default 999999999 secs, i.e. far, far in the future) gSystem->Setenv("XRDCLIENTMAXWAIT", Form("%d",TFile::GetOpenTimeout())); > Have you verified that the file is not corrupted? The file is corrupted, i checked that by copying the file from the dCache server. How can i check if it is corrupted without opening the file? It seems that TFile::Open("corruptedFile.root") works, but TFile::Open("root://.../corruptedFile.root") hangs. > If you are sure about those, to give some support I need a logfile telling > me what's happening, possibly done with the latest ROOT (should be 5.19.02b, > which bundles very recent stuff). I'm using root version 5.18.00, retried with 5.19.02, i couldnt find 5.19.02b in /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/root Same effect with 5.19.02 also. > gEnv->setValue("XNet.Debug", 3) [this switches the XrdClient debug ON] I couldnt get this working: root [0] Processing test.cxx... Error: Can't call TEnv::setValue("XNet.Debug",3) in current scope test.cxx:2: Possible candidates are... *** Interpreter error recovered *** root [1] .q I've copied the test.cxx in my public /afs/cern.ch/user/s/slehti/public/test.cxx The dCache data is world readable, so anyone can try the script.
