Hello I am using the xrootd door of a dcache storage (1.9.5). With xrdcp I dont have any troubles, but when using root as a client (v5.26) that requests data through xrootd protocol I get errors randomly. I reproduce the errors in root by simply creating a TChain of files and for example calling the method GetEntries(). Error in <TXNetFile::CreateXClient>: open attempt failed on root://xrootd.ifae.es//pnfs/pic.es/IFAEAtlasTier2/t2atlasscratchdisk/group10/phys-sm/mc09_7TeV/group10.phys-sm.mc09_7TeV.107653.AlpgenJimmyZeeNp3_pt20.recon.ESD.e529_s765_s767_r1302.WZphys.100612.07.D3PD/group10.phys-sm.mc09_7TeV.107653.AlpgenJimmyZeeNp3_pt20.recon.ESD.e529_s765_s767_r1302.WZphys.100612.07.D3PD.D3PD._00001.root If I turn on debugging on the client, I get more information with an error like: 100917 20:49:24 001 Xrd: CheckErrorStatus: Server [dcgftp12.ifae.es:1094] declared: OpenRequest different from the one the redirector got(error code: 3000) Has anybody already experienced this problem or can anyone help me to better understand this error message? thanks, Carlos the full log. 100917 20:49:24 001 Xrd: TakeUrl: Host: dcgftp12.ifae.es 100917 20:49:24 001 Xrd: TakeUrl: Port: 1094 100917 20:49:24 001 Xrd: GetAccessToSrv: Ok: the server on [dcgftp12.ifae.es:1094] is an xrootd redirector. 100917 20:49:24 001 Xrd: GetAccessToSrv: Reusing physical connection to server [dcgftp12.ifae.es:1094]).
