Hi Simon,

I am working with Andrew on mu3e grid stuff.
It seems indeed that the problem with dirac-dms-clean-directory is due to a timeout.
I ran the following command
dirac-dms-clean-directory  /mu3e.org/prod/build4.4.2/
and worked without problems , the difference being that 4.4.2 had a much smaller number of files in it.

I am currently running dirac-dms-remove-files with a file  containing  a list of /mu3e.org/prod/build4.4.1/  files and it seems to be working.

Thanks very much for your help.
Cheers,
Carlos

Thanks, the output doesn't really contain any clues... The "failed to
perform..." error message is a fairly generic one. I've checked the
matching server-side log, but there aren't any errors there.

There isn't a specific limit for these commands, but they will hit timeouts
for very large directories, which I think may be the case here.

Can you please try generating a list of the files with dirac-dms-find-lfns
and then (if that's successful) give the list file as input to the
dirac-dms-remove-files command and see what happens?

Regards,
Simon
