Cc: xrootd-l; Mihai Patrascoiu; Matevz Tadel Subject: Re: Testing the XrdPss with cachelib - Issues with writing Hi Andy, thanks for the hints. My opinion is that a passthrough option would be a very big plus for the caching proxy, and I was sincerely surprised by this limitation. For some of our use cases I believe that we will start using it without caching, as I can't imagine how to give a transparent service by having to force clients to use different paths for reading and writing. What do you think ? Thank you Fabrizio On 03/01/2018 06:09 PM, Andrew Hanushevsky wrote: > Correct, we don't support a writable cache because that's not what a cache is all about.
