Cristina, sorry,
"we" -> "ATLAS". Without the support for 32 bits dpm libs we won't be
able to use old releases at 32 bits with emi nodes and direct access. We
asked for this support at least a couple of months ago, before emi-2 was
released, so I was hoping this issue was fixed in emi-2 already.
OK, so it seems we'll have to change our plans for the direct access
mode until this is fixed. Moreover, one of the SAM tests for ATLAS is
involving the RFIO test with 32 bits libraries, and it always fails on
emi nodes, therefore a solution must be identified.
Thanks, regards,
Alessandro
