Follow-up Comment #5, sr #135998 (project xrootd): I will try and submit the request, as you say. I will also try and play a bit with the code, I think I understood I should look into Config.ossFS->Stat(...) can you confirm this? About the last question: "Finally, am I correct in assuming that offline really means that st_size if greater than zero but st_blocks is zero. Is that really the only way to know?" This is what the local team told me . Clearly there are executables which you can use for that (specific of GPFS+TSM), but if you do not want to go beyond "stat/stat64" and be not too much specific, that seems the best option... _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.cern.ch/support/?135998> _______________________________________________ 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
