(Georgios)

• Just a few hours ago: eoshome-i03 was DOS'ed by a user doing "recycle ls". Looks like the command was taking too long to complete, timing out, and automatically retried, again and again. EOS-2955
  • is due to core xrootd-client timeout+command resend (same as dumpmd, find). Would need to be rewritten "using new mechanism"
  • "eos console" could turn off retries but also would turn off read recovery, for all commands..
  • Hugo will set env variable for web interface to turn off retries (to be provided by Elvin)
• Fix for namespace bug, where an mkdir was able to "shadow overwrite" a broken symlink (caused to have both file+dir entry in namespace, caused "find" to crash MGM).
  • in case of clash, would need to rename directory (which causes the file/link entry to become visible). Georgios will write tool to check existing namespace(s) 
• QuarkDB 0.3.4 has been released:
  • Fix for a bug which does not affect EOS.
  • Updated rocksdb to latest release.
    • (is linked statically, no new RPMs)
