>> As far as I know CMS uses lcg-cp within CRAB2 for staging out user files. I did not look into the details of the bug. Almost for sure it does not apply for the CRAB use case, which neither uses the BDII nor the LFC together with lcg-cp.

> Precisely. The bug as far as I understand only is there if you attempt lcg-cr with bdii lookup. The use case of CMS is lcg-cp and no bdii therefore no problem (I've done hundreds of CRAB jobs for my own analysis and it works).
Another update, which may be a lot more of a deal breaker for EMI-2 for now. I discovered a new bug in lcg-cp that was confirmed and fixed by the lcg-util guys. The fix will make it to 1.13.9 testing and 1.14, but the 1.13 release right now is broken. The bug is namely that transfers that take over 3 minutes will get aborted.
