Hi Wilko, That is something I missed, and is an issue that possibly conflates this. It is very good to know. It, however, doesn't quite seem to explain why after returning an error, xrd stops returning any output at all. I show 3 attempts to stat. The first is successful. The second returns an error, and the third returns nothing. At this point I've had to exit xrd and start it again to get output from the commands. Anyway, I'm going to update as Lukasz and Brian suggested and see what happens. Thanks, Ian On Thu, May 5, 2011 at 8:32 AM, Wilko Kroeger <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > > Hello Lukasz and Ian > > It looks to me the issue is that xrd gets redirected after a stat command > (which is the expected behavior). > > The first xrd connection is to xrootd.unl.edu which I guess is a > redirector.
