Last Friday latest version rolled out to WNs. No more locks; remaining sets of metadata ops taking a greater proportion of original metadata time. Fewer unlocks overall, but seem to be slower?

To follow up on the unlocks; source of the slow unlocks. How to reduce the unlock operations.

For unlocks: still looking into the completion objects.

5.4.3 releases in Centos 7 / EL8;

• Problems observed: (pgRead / pgWrites)

All

5.4.0 enabled by default pgRead and pgWrite on clients. Significant speed reduction. (due to 64kib r/w size).
Affects XRoot protocol transfers (e.g. via xrdcp).

Disabling pgRW requires modifying the XRD_PGProtocolversion (a hard-coded #define), so that the client falls back to a standard Read/Write.

Test against the bufferedIO version also needed.
