Hi there, since last week I obseve some strange load related problem with the xrootd cluster at GridKa. During fairly 'normal' load [1] the redirector reaches its Thread limit [2]. I set it to maximum but the problems reoccurred several times [3]. It almost seems, that the scheduler does not flush the threads in time, but I guess might have more insight on this issue. Well feel free to share any kind of advice or wisdom :-) The cluster has 12 servers (2 in staging mode) and all run on 20071101-0808p1.
