Hi - Not sure I understand the permissions on these files. I imagine that they're older than the DPM (Ivan hasn't been part of the ATLAS collaboration for nearly 4 years), so I guess they were added when the SE was converted from ClassicSE to DPM. The sample files that I have looked at do physically exist. Their permissions are typically "-rw-rw-r-- 1 prdops01 1307" (I think the owner being OPS is a coincidence of UIDs in this case - other fils have unknown owners). dpm-getacl returns: # owner: atlassgm # group: atlas user::rw- group::rw- #effective:rw- other::r-- Is it safe to just rm these files, or is there a more DPM'ish solution?
