Hi *,

I've encountered a strange (for me) problem with the DPM (server/disk,version 3.0.15-0 - PPS grid) machine:

there's a file on this server (and registered on the LFC) which cannot be deleted: if we try the dpm service dies with no log on the server:

UI $ lfc-ls -l /grid/diligent/watermarking/apps/videoprocessor
-rw-rw-r--   1 104      101                  232325 Nov 27 15:52 /grid/diligent/watermarking/apps/videoprocessor

UI $ lcg-del -v --vo diligent  -s  grid-eo-store06.esrin.esa.int lfn:/grid/diligent/watermarking/apps/videoprocessor
VO name: diligent
Using GUID : 483a2fd7-de6a-4fe7-b5f7-aea1667a953c
set timeout to 0 seconds
Communication error
srm://grid-eo-store06.esrin.esa.int/dpm/esrin.esa.int/home/diligent/generated/2006-11-27/file2eee499b-f3b1-43d7-83c2-c8a9e2956f32 is NOT deleted
lcg_del: Communication error on send

and then I need to start again the service:

DPM $ service dpm start

on the server itself I've a strange behaviour listing this file:

DPM $ dpns-ls /dpm/esrin.esa.int/home/diligent/generated/2006-11-27
file2eee499b-f3b1-43d7-83c2-c8a9e2956f32                                        (<== got output)
DPM $ dpns-ls -l /dpm/esrin.esa.int/home/diligent/generated/2006-11-27                (<== long listing)
        OR
DPM $  dpns-ls  /dpm/esrin.esa.int/home/diligent/generated/2006-11-27/file2eee499b-f3b1-43d7-83c2-c8a9e2956f32
DPM $                 ( <=======no output)

All other files can be added and removed, so:

1) any clue why this happen?
2) I need to delete this entry: I think I can directly manipulate the mysql entry but...which are the tables/db involved? I fear I can delete some entries but not all creating some inconsistences...

Thanks and cheers
