Checksums issue with an ATLAS file

https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/issues/2388

https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=169360

Checksum requested before whole file is updated. No ability to do stale checksum check in ceph, so original checksum ‘sticks’ to the file.

cms-aaa naming convention

cms-aaa is the only remaining personality to use proxy/ceph as the xrootd service names


Separate naming convention would be more appropriate, to have main/supporting

(not so urgent).

CC created, but due to be reviewed December

Option 2 preferred for efficiency, but Option 1 decided on

Option 1 would be simpler to implement for a temporary fix, as the move would be reversed

Simple PoC calculating Adler32 in the XrdCeph plugin mostly working. Neglible reduction in write rate compared to not calculating Adler32 on-the-fly.

Site reports

Lancaster:

We continue with our handwavey observations about CEPH appearing to create work for itself by shuffling data around apparently unprovoked and XRootD connection handling seeming, for lack of more information, weird (so weird Gerard is working in an orchastrated restart script for the gateways). An example of the weird handling, after not being touched over Christmas spot the point where we restarted the xrootd services:

...

We’re pencilling out the design for a fresh batch of gateways, we probably don’t have the infrastructure to go full 100Gb so we’re settling on a “3 NIC design”, where two 25Gb internal (i.e. cluster + cephfs traffic) NICs are either bonded, or a NIC is dedicated to the CephFS mount. Some (handwavey as always) concerns about inter- network card traffic.
