Hi all, Are there any known issues trying to create a new file using TFile::Open() within ROOT when the parent directory has not been created previously? We seem to be unable to do this on the small xrootd deployment we have here at BNL for the Daya Bay group. With xrdcp, the parent directories get created automatically. Also, there is no problem creating the new file from within ROOT if the parent directories have been created previously on the selected storage server. Is this a server configuration issue, or possibly something missing in ROOT? We are using ROOT v5.26/00b and xrd version 20091028-1003_dbg. I have attached a ROOT log executing TFile* file = TFile::Open(url,"RECREATE"); when the url is pointing to a nonexisting directory. The error we get is 101005 17:53:36 001 Xrd: ReadPartialAnswer: Server [daya0002.rcf.bnl.gov:1094] answered [kXR_error] (4003) 101005 17:53:36 001 Xrd: CheckErrorStatus: Server [daya0001.rcf.bnl.gov:1094] declared: Unable to create /xrootd/bv/ test/does-not-exist/file.root; No such file or directory(error code: 3011) 101005 17:53:36 001 Xrd: Open: Error opening the file /xrootd/bv/test/ does-not-exist/file.root on host daya0001.rcf.bnl.gov:1094 Error in <TXNetFile::CreateXClient>: open attempt failed on root:// daya0001//xrootd/bv/test/does-not-exist/file.root I have also attached our xrootd.cf. Any advice would be much appreciated and sincere apologies if this has been discussed and answered before. Thanks!
