Hi all,

we recently upgraded our XRootD (plus DFS) and it seems that recalling files from tape does not work as expected anymore. I’m now trying to figure out where we messed up.

In specific, I am trying to understand how a redirector + 2 staging-server reacts when a client asks for an unstaged file.
- I would assumes that if a client requests to open a file, 1) the redirector selects a staging-server which brings the file online, 2) the client gets stalled until the file is online, and 3) the client opens the file when it is online.
- Instead, it seems [1] that 1) the redirector stalls the client and asks the staging-servers whether they have the file, 2) the staging-server check their *local* file system and do not find the file, 3) the redirector tells the client that the file does not exist.

Do I have to add something to the configuration to go from the second to the first behaviour?

Cheers,
Max
