Details:

Hi,
I am trying to set-up a machine for high load analysis tasks.

The idea is to
- have a large disk attached (72 TB Sun Thor machine)
- use it as an XROOTD cache

The preferred way of operation would be
- pre-allocate nothing on the cache
- everytime the machine is asked for a file, it is moved on the cache (I
understand with something like

mps.xfrcmd  /usr/bin/xrdcp %sfn %tfn 
mps.mssdir  root://MY-EXPERIMENT-GLOBAL-REDIRECTOR/

)
- from the second attempt, the file is found locally.

I was not able to have the configuration running, starting from a simple
local only machine + just adding those two lines. Can you point me to an
example config? 
And then (2nd priority), how is the cache handled (for example, cleaning
etc)?

thanks a lot

tommaso
