Progress on releases

1.9.4

Tape protection is in.

Dmitry did changes and suspicion of a changes.

Didn't look good. Can't write test-case that failed.

It seems things are fine.

Cut 1.9.4 after meeting.

Gerd: one patch that he'd like to get in:

RB 396: checksum handling.

Paul to look at it.

With 1.9.3 we announced EoL for 1.9.0

Should we deprecate or announce EoL for 1.9.3 when we release 1.9.4

1.9.3 should be the CERN release as soon as possible; next week.

As soon as 1.9.3 is the CERN release, we declare EoL of 1.9.1 and 1.9.2.

How long will it take? about six weeks .. or two weeks.

When CERN takes 1.9.3, we declare EoL 1.9.1 & 1.9.2.

Issues from Tier-1 meeting

xrootd

Pool dies. Same time the xrootd pools have started dying.

Pool apparently "goes away" CPU very busy. Most of the time it comes back.

Xrootd mover uses lot of small buffers. Not likely to be the CRC calculation.

Gerd is continuing on the xrootd mover reimplementation.

open call

Sometimes the open call fails sometimes.

More investigation needed.

pool running out of space

With XFS filesystem, this was with the pools were too close to the filesystem limit. Likely due to metadata, padding, etc.

Java 1.6, patch monitor the amount of free space.

Tigran to update init scripts to check for Java v1.6
