Here is another way to do this, on the "faulty" data sever (obviously, it can't be complete faulty, otherwise you can't login and do anything) stop xrootd/cmsd find storage_root_path -type f | while read file; do dstfile=`remove local_root from $file` xrdcp $file root://your_redirector/$dstfile done you can speed up the process by making a more sophisticated script using xprep, etc. regards, Wei Yang | [log in to unmask] | 650-926-3338(O) On Jan 9, 2012, at 12:41 AM, Andrew Hanushevsky wrote: > Hi Doug, > > The short answer is no.
