AFS service/operation meeting

AFS ops meeting 2017-01-23

present: Kuba, Massimo, Jan

Issues:

• compiled 1.6.20 (upstream) but not yet deployed (use case: CC7 VMs to migrate out of soon-unrepaired hardware)
• ASDF account presentation (create UNIX GID by default)
• Asked the procurement people for some alarmable fact that signals the end of their repair service for the machine
• 1 case of "lost file on AFS" - file was never on AFS. But while checking, saw that "xrdcp" in restore occasionally get stuck for no good/obvious reason -> will debug with Giuseppe; will perhaps add slightly more verbosity or at least progress bar to "xrdcp"
• also 1 case of restoring a SVN volume - should perhaps just give recipe (but user would not be able to simply rename the volume? =would need to copy data out)

(non-issue: BATCH+EOS gives low < 1% error rate, symptom are "empty files after write"? )
