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?
