Hi, Here is setup details: Redirector (xrootd-redir.ultralight.org) - redirector does not have visibility of FS. Data Servers (transfer-[1-10].ultralight.org) Redirector has this in config: cms.dfs lookup distrib mdhold 20m redirect immed Which should redirect calls to data server Using xrdfs via redirector: $ xrdfs xrootd-redir.ultralight.org ls /store/ /store/.swp /store/admin /store/backfill /store/data /store/express /store/group /store/hidata /store/himc /store/mc /store/relval /store/results /store/temp /store/test /store/unmerged /store/user $ gfal-ls root://xrootd-redir.ultralight.org:1094//store/ gfal-ls error: 115 (Operation now in progress) - Failed reading directory: [ERROR] Error response: No such file or directory (Unknown error 400) gfal-ls davs://xrootd-redir.ultralight.org:1094//store/ himc express hidata unmerged temp backfill relval group results user mc data test admin I created dummy file on redirector and: $ gfal-ls root://xrootd-redir.ultralight.org:1094//store/ dummy-file-on-redirector Why `gfal-ls root://xrootd-redir.ultralight.org:1094//store/` does not redirect to data server to do lookup? Is this gfal-ls issue not specifying some of the flag? In such case - what needs to be specified so we get this fixed under gfal.
