John What route would you advise for this discussion to happen? Is this a question first of all for the GridPP User Board or something to ask about at the LCG GDB next week? I could of course raise a ticket in GGUS :) Thanks, Jeremy -----Original Message----- From: Testbed Support for GridPP member institutes [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Gordon, JC (John) Sent: 05 October 2005 12:08 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Reminder of the next UKI meeting - Wednesday 5th October 11:00-12:00 via VRVS Allessandra, I don't think it is good enough to say that the glue schema exists so the experiments should use it and tough if they don't. There should be a discussion with the experiments raising the issues and saying what we would like to happen. Then perhaps we can reach some understanding and then agreement. I agree with Steve's definitions. Just because a disk can have a head crash or corruption doesn't mean it isn't 'permanent'.
