Hi grid users,

 

I am Yongheng Xu from Lancaster and I am having trouble uploading a single large root file (114GB) to CA-SFU-T21-disk using dirac. What I did was

 

dirac-dms-add-file /t2k.org/users/yoneheng.xu/run4a_FHC_combined.root ~/p6t_validation_samples/r4a.root CA-SFU-T21-disk -ddd

 

However, it runs for a while (~1 hour) then fails and gives the following error message:

I have tested with smaller files and they can be uploaded without any problem. Does anyone know what might be the cause of this issue? The full log is attached to this email.

 

Many thanks,

 

Yongheng Xu
