This is a known issue. See here, for instance: https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/blob/master/src/XrdCl/XrdClFile.cc#L53 ROOT garbage collects the file objects after it dlcloses the relevant plugin library. You could ask Philippe (pcanal) to see if he can at least run a round of garbage collection `atexit` for the TFile objects in global scope, if the full backport is not possible. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/issues/338#issuecomment-194027770 ######################################################################## 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
