Update of bug #92728 (project xrootd): Assigned to: None => abh _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #1: As communicated before by direct mail, the XrdOucCache class does not work properly. 1st issue is, that the XrdPosixXrootd::Close function hangs often waiting for a semaphore to be posted: warning: no loadable sections found in added symbol-file system-supplied DSO at 0x7fff7c1fd000 0x0000003da6a0cd21 in sem_wait () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (gdb) where #0 0x0000003da6a0cd21 in sem_wait () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x0000003b50420f16 in Wait (this=0x56ae980) at /usr/src/debug/xrootd/xrootd/src/XrdSys/XrdSysPthread.hh:315 #2 XrdOucCacheData::Detach (this=0x56ae980) at /usr/src/debug/xrootd/xrootd/src/XrdOuc/XrdOucCacheData.cc:117 #3 0x0000003b50c08d3c in XrdPosixFile::~XrdPosixFile (this=0x56a7340, __in_chrg=<value optimized out>) at /usr/src/debug/xrootd/xrootd/src/XrdPosix/XrdPosixXrootd.cc:393 #4 0x0000003b50c06534 in XrdPosixXrootd::Close (fildes=<value optimized out>, Stream=0) at /usr/src/debug/xrootd/xrootd/src/XrdPosix/XrdPosixXrootd.cc:566 #5 0x0000000000400fb8 in main (argc=2, argv=0x7fff7c16bc48) at /root/eos-3.1.0/eos/test/XrdCpPosixCache.cc:68 Second problem is the performance. If I set 128k page size and try to do 1M or 2M read-aheads there is only a performance penalty but never a gain. Here is my XRDPOSIX_CACHE setting: export XRDPOSIX_CACHE="debug=2&mode=c&optpr=1&pagesz=128k&cachesz=1g&optlg=1&aprminp=8&aprtrig=2m&max2cache=2m" I attach also the test program I am using. I was using the RPMS of xrootd-client-3.2.0-0.rc1.slc5.xu It is not urgent to fix XrdOucCache, but it is urgent to remove the automatic disable of the standard client read ahead parameters.
