Fixed the same day.Elog.38423,38425-26.
+ TW/Taiwan-LCG2 many job f./Put err.:Invalid argument lcg_cp.GGUS 85138
solved:had castor glitch few hours ago,solved.No more err.(12h),Aug.15.
+ NL/WEIZMANN-LCG2 2K FT f./DEST.:CONN.:SRM.GGUS 85139 solved:site in SDT
+ ND/ARC 700 job f./LRMS ere.:job killed/staging:Failed to prepare
destination srm/Err.downloading tarball JO.GGUS 85144 solved:not a site
problem.2 failure types:exceeded walltime for pile-up (maxCpuCount too
low);badly defined evgen.
+ DE/UNI-SIEGEN-HEP 1K+/4h deletion err./Error reading token data header:
Connection reset by peer.GGUS 85194 verified:declared the files as
deleted to the deletion service;also changed the SE in ToA.Deletion
backlog back to zero,Aug.16.
+ DE/LRZ-LMU FT f./SOURCE:SRM_ABORTED.GGUS 85195 verified:some dCache
problems solved?No more err.in the last 12h,Aug.15.The exact details
are described in dCache bug #7317 and #7300.

................................................................

/eos/atlas/atlasgroupdisk exception:java.io.IOException: Cannot run
program "/bin/sh": java.io.IOException: error=24, Too many open files.
SRM stuck,Bestman restart seems resolved this(was running out of file
descriptors when talking to EOS).
+ FR/IN2P3-LPC all FT f./DEST.:CONN.:SRM.GGUS 85207 solved:air cooling
system has crashed,fixed.Savannah 131207:whitelisted after fixing.
- US/UTA_SWT2_PRODDISK FT f./DEST.:CONN.:SRM.GGUS 85225 on hold:this
problem due to several factors:1)type of jobs currently running in the
cluster do a lot of staging,and the files are predominately on a
storage node that is heavily loaded;2)There seems be a fair amount of
central deletions occurring;3)issue with how checksums are handled is
adding to the load on the storage node.In the short term reduced
the number of running jobs to ease contention in the storage system.
Longer term modifications to the local site mover will be made.The site
will be off-line sometime in the next few days for a migration of the
local LFC to one at BNL.FT f./SOURCE file/user checksum mismatch,Aug.20
due to the storage server went down a couple of days ago and the files
being written during the failure are now corrupted,declared lost to
deletion recovery service.Savannah 131312.

.Found a solution to the Lustre attribute bug in Lustre,to be
implemented in the coming days.Will allow STORM's on-the-fly check-
summer to run instead of the old check-summer.The old check-summer ran
in a 2nd pass after the transfer was complete, but before the "PutDone"
Depending on file size and other SE activity, it often completed late
enough to cause a time-out.
