Follow-up Comment #5, bug #86870 (project xrootd): Hi Doug, the info to syslog targets to system administrators so I expect then to understand stat() and opendir(). Most importantly, the messages singled out the failed xrootd data servers. For users, it is difficult to provide more precise info since all xrootdfs can return to user is errno (through kernel of course), which is captures and interpreted by applications like 'ls', 'cp'.
