[Swift-devel] Re: remote file system

[Ben Clifford]

actually specifically the sites that Xi has been using look fairly flakey 
- they often won't accept gridftp connections (as in, the site that just 
worked with fork for me now doesn't work at all).

>From the perspective of Xi's work, I think that means that this site 
should be regarded as "broken" even when it does happen to accept gridftp 
transfers and job submissions.

Perhaps that unable to link input file error, when used on a 
known-to-be-good workflow, should always be treated for now (in Xi's work) 
as an indication that the site is not broken.

Separately, from an OSG operations perspective, someone (I guess me) could 
contact the site admin and see what is going on.
