Follow-up Comment #15, bug #92620 (project xrootd): Hello Carlos When you try to xrdcp a file with path /pnfs-disk/ (lets assume xrdcp root://server//pnfs-disk/pic.es/at3/f.root /dev/null) the xrootd will try to open the file /pnfs-disk/pic.es/at3/f1.root in its locally accessible file systems. So /pnfs-disk/ must be an accessible directory on your xrootd server and xrootd must be able to read and write to it. Is this the case? If the file doesn't exit locally it will use the frm.copy command to copy the file to the server (as you marked the path as stageable) . The file will first be copied to the server before the client can read it. If you didn't specify the oss.namelib, oss.localroot or oss.remoteroot xrootd will run the command (for the example above, dccp $SRC $DST): dccp /pnfs-disk/pic.es/at3/f1.root /pnfs-disk/pic.es/at3/f1.root You could try this command on the xrootd server and see if it works. Hope this helps, Cheers Wilko _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/?92620> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by LCG Savannah http://savannah.cern.ch/ ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the XROOTD-DEV list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=XROOTD-DEV&A=1
