      Title : Checksums using xrootd on ECHO taking a long time.
      Issue : As in title
      Status : Closed and waiting for LHCb to verify it works with production infrastructure.

      Title : FTS3 transfers Failed (RAL => CERN) RAL-LCG2
      Issue : Data corruption at RAL again. Cause of corruption understood as a race condition, but underlying cause still unknown.
      Status : On hold. Wait for end of year

      Title : FTS error: libX509SciTokensIssuer.so ...
      Issue : RAL FTS does not support macaroons. FTS upgrade needed at RAL.
      Resolution : Upgraded - to be tested by LHCb when Brian gets some information about authentication from FTS developers
      Status : Waiting for discussion with CERN
       
      https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=142350
      Title : Proble accessing some LHCb files at RAL
      Issue : xrootd vector reads from CEPH (ECHO@RAL) not properly implemented.
      Status : Waiting for fix.
       
      https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=152927
      Title : Singularity for LHCb at RAL 
      Issue : Singularity does not start at RAL as we run jobs within docker container.
      Status : Fix is to run docker with additional security options which are available only from docker v19.03. RAL currently runs docker v18.03. To be solved in the next month after various batch farm upgrades are finished.

      Issue : Using old version of xrootd client from the application point of view
      Status : Closed. Fix being developed on LHCb end.
