Hi Steve (everyone),

While I look for more detailed comparisons, this might help (from 2013 or so, when we actually started retiring lcg-utils - they've been retired since around 2014, btw!). https://indico.egi.eu/indico/event/2189/contribution/2/material/slides/1.pdf was a presentation giving an overview of the differences between lcg-utils and gfal2...

Hi David,

I'm afraid I'm hardly any wiser. I did some googling to find how to test
that GFAL tools work well at our site (Liverpool), and made a little
test job from what I read (see below). I'm cc'ing this over to our
"Storage Group" to see if anyone can recommend some formal documentation
on GFAL. So ... any answers?

Cheers,

Ste
