Of course gfal-ls is broken in the current version of the dirac externals, so hmpf. This "let's replace lcg-utils before we have a supported replacement" has been going on my nerves, possibly since 2013. I'll deal with the dirac failure once I made some headway into my other tickets. Daniela On 4 May 2017 at 23:15, Sam Skipsey <sskipsey@googlemail.com> wrote:
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...

Can you direct me to a good page that has gfal equivalents of lcg functions as at the moment I am having to look at many pages and I'm still not able to find all the equivalent functions in gfal (see above example). 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,
