Hi, i am getting lcg_lr errors here at NIKHEF. It's hard to tell whether it is my problem or not; we just upgraded so it's likely that it *is* our problem, but looking at strace output from an lcg-lr command it looks like there is a problem with the Oracle server on rlsatlas : send(3, "POST /atlas/v2.2/edg-replica-metadata-catalog/services/edg-replica-metadata-catalog HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: rlsatlas.cern.ch:777"..., 830, 0) = 830 shutdown(3, 1 /* send */) = 0 recv(3, "HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error\r\nDate: Tue, 13 Sep 2005 13:29:54 GMT\r\nServer: Oracle9iAS/9.0.3.1 Oracle HTTP Server\r\n"..., 32768, 0) = 671 shutdown(3, 2 /* send and receive */) = -1 ENOTCONN (Transport endpoint is not connected) close(3) = 0 dup(2) = 3 fcntl64(3, F_GETFL) = 0x8002 (flags O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 2), ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb75f6000 _llseek(3, 0, 0xbfffabac, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek) write(3, "lcg_lr: No such file or directory\n", 34) = 34 It would be nice to have a better lcg_lr error message, ie WHICH file or directory is No such??? J "we need a MFT like the SFT" T
