Hi Andreas, since two releases we recommend to replace the MDS site GIIS by a BDII configured to act as a site GIIS. It is described in the installation guides and if you prefer an entry in the WIKI pages it is there too. Instead of google you can have a look at: http://goc.grid.sinica.edu.tw/gocwiki/Using_the_BDII_as_a_site_GIIS Laurence can give you the full story about the MDS based GIISs and their stability. markus On Apr 8, 2005, at 5:09 PM, Andreas Unterkircher wrote: > Hello, > > is the MDS GIIS instability that has been mentioned in earlier posts > somwhere documented ?
