Error message of SrmSpaceManager command 'reserve' is misleading/useless

[patrick]

Whenever the 'reserve' command of the SrmSpaceManager is not able to reserve space it returns : There is no linkgroup that can accommodate this space reservation This makes it impossible for the user and our support people to find out what exactly went wrong. (And a lot of things can go wrong here) There should be at least the following different error codes :

• vor is not allowed to create a token(see linkgroupauthfile)
• vog is not allowed to create a token(see linkgroupauthfile)
• the AL/RP is not allowed on the specified link group
• the link group is not specified or doesn't exist.
• there is not enough space left in the specified link group to create a token.

Might be there are more. The same is of course true for the dynamic space reservation using the srm client command.

cheers
