@Thomas, Jyothish (STFC,RAL,SC) Sam

 

 

Centos 8: outstanding items?

 

Continuing to progess.

(See Lancs Site report for more details on vector size problems, but resolved in 5.5.0-rc2).

 

space info reporting:

https://stfc.atlassian.net/browse/XRD-21

 

On hold - needs unified setup and Alice uses the --posc flag with xrdcp,

which causes xrootd to interpret ceph objects as folders and fail

 

https://stfc.atlassian.net/browse/XRD-26

 

dev-gw2 now available

 

https://stfc.atlassian.net/browse/XRD-27

 

 

 

Deletions / current understanding / necessary changes

 

having a unified setup should improve things, evidence from Ian supporting this

 

 

“Unified” xrootd status / problems?

 

Avoid TPC for xroot transfers on the webdav gateways
--posc flag

Ian to help out as well

 

xrdtpc.sh script without a proxy (is it possible?)
xrd.tpc redirect (to xrootd hosts, or some other proxy … )

 

Did not find a solution yet (see above).
