Hi Horst, The oss.nodread suppresses directory reading for every path unless you specify otherwise. This is true whether or not the path is backed in the MSS. If you just want to supress it for gstore, that will have to be implemented in the msscmd interface. The mig option is the default when msscmd is specified. I beleieve it was a bug that has since been corrected that mg was propogated even to nomig entries. Our site is being powered down until Monday so I will not be able to answer any e-mails until then.

Staging from gStore and migrating to gStore seems to work, but the xrd command interface (dirlist) works only if the mass storage interface is not activated. If activated, no files are found with dirlist in any path backed with gStore (subdirectories of (/data1/)gstore, see configuration file attached). Sometimes even the mass storage interface script specified with oss.mssgwcmd is invoked, though this should be inhibited by oss.nodread. Also in pathes NOT backed with gStore, no files are shown with dirlist. In the xrootd log file, no output appears (see log file attached)! Besides that: Though specified as not migratable in the config file, the pathes not backed with gStore appear with 'oss.path mig' in the log file (/user, /xrootd, /Alitmp). What's going wrong there?
