Hi Brian, The main problem is not really with stat (except maybe for a wrong flag being set), it is with directory listing, if you do: > xrdfs deepthought.crc.nd.edu ls /store/user/lannon/test.txt > /store/user/lannon/test.txt//test.txt /store/user/lannon/test.txt is a file, however there is a successful response from the server containing one directory entry: /test.txt In XrdHdfsDirectory::Opendir you actually call hdfsListDirectory on the path (https://github.com/bbockelm/xrootd-hdfs/blob/master/src/XrdHdfs.cc#L160) What happens if the path is a file not a directory? If it behaves like 'ls filename' then it would explain what I observed (it's just a theory ;). Michal -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
