Hi Tommaso, I trust that your source modifications are working for you. Just to let you know that git head now contains a stat() plugin mechanism and a sample plugin specific to gpfs+tape. It's configurable and should do all the things you wanted it to do. The plugin shared library is libXrdOssSIgpfsT.so with the corresponding source in XrdOss/XrdOssSIgpfsT.cc We will now discuss when it will appear in a mainline release. This brings me to another question regarding gpfs+tape staging. Presumably, when you stage in a file using your interface, the file will appear on disk using exactly the same name it originally had. Currently, this is not the assumption of frm_xfrd since not too many people run such a tightly configured staging system. So, I will also include an additional option to the copycmd directive indicating that direct staging is the prefered method so that the frm doesn't go through an intermediate file. I suspect you have already hit that little detail.
