Hi Andy, This was first noticed with an xrootd-fuse client: # ls /atlas/uct3/data/users/jano/qual/matched/truth ls: cannot access /atlas/uct3/data/users/jano/qual/matched/truth/ntuple_0.root: No such file or directory ntuple_0.root # rpm -q xrootd-fuse xrootd-fuse-5.3.1-1.el7.x86_64 Then I also tried with the 'xrdfs' tool: # xrdfs root://uct3-xrd.mwt2.org:1094 ls /atlas/uct3/data/users/jano/qual/matched/truth/ntuple_0.root [ERROR] Server responded with an error: [3011] No servers have read access to the file # rpm -q xrootd-client xrootd-client-5.3.1-1.el7.x86_64 I have tried the same clients on different hosts, which report the same problem. I have tried restarting the cmsd/xrootd on all 3 servers and the redirector. File is still in the same state. Advice on how to proceed? Thanks much, Lincoln ________________________________ From: Andrew Hanushevsky <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, September 7, 2021 1:03 PM To: Yang, Wei <[log in to unmask]> Cc: Lincoln Bryant <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Can't remove missing file For an xroot client, when this occurs, the client automatically asks the redirector to correct the cache. So, this should not be an issue. On the other hand, http has no such protocol so the rror persists until the cache times out. So, what client was getting this error?
