Ciao, I am playing with a tape setup at CNAF, and I want to enable stagein support … I have a simple xrootd.cfg (only relevant parts shown) … all.export / r nomig nocheck nodread stage # Hosts allowed to use this xrootd cluster cms.allow host * #stagein stuff.... frm.xfr.copycmd out /bin/true 0 frm.xfr.copycmd in stats noalloc /opt/xrootd/bin/copy.sh $SRC $DST frm.xfr.copymax 200 # Keep this as a work-around for an xrootd bug oss.localroot /storage/gpfs_tsm_cms/cms/ … I have nomig since migrations will happen automatically … Instead I have put an explicit stage-in part: frm.xfr.copycmd in stats noalloc /opt/xrootd/bin/copy.sh $SRC $DST what happens is that is I request a file which does not exist (or exists only on tape), and xrdcp client waits with 130311 13:25:16 14110 Xrd: ReadPartialAnswer: Server [ds-202-08-37.cr.cnaf.infn.it:1094] answered [kXR_waitresp] (4006) 130311 13:25:16 14110 Xrd: WaitResp: Waiting response for 1800 secs. and /opt/xrootd/bin/copy.sh in never invoked (i checked putting inside a lot of debug printout).. Also, if I do [root@ds-202-08-37 xrootd]# /etc/init.d/frm_xfrd start [root@ds-202-08-37 xrootd]# nothing happens … instead by doing by hand frm_xfrd -l /var/log/xrootd/cms/xfrd.log -c /etc/xrootd/xrootd-clustered.cfg -k 5 I get some logging, but again no attempt of stagein: ++++++ frm_xfrd [log in to unmask] initialization started.
