FileExists < LCG

---++ Error

You get this error :

<verbatim>
lfc-rm /grid/atlas/tests/file1
  /grid/atlas/tests/file1: File exists
</verbatim>

or this

<verbatim>
dpns-rm /dpm/in2p3.fr/home/auvergrid/tests/file1
  /dpm/in2p3.fr/home/auvergrid/tests/file1: File exists
</verbatim>

---++ Solution

=lfc-rm= and =dpns-rm= remove the entry in the Name Server only, but not the physical file itself.

The =File exists= error means that there are still physical replicas attached to the Name Server entry.

To remove both physical and logical files, you can :
   * use =lcg_util=
   * use =rfrm= (in the DPM case)

---++ Help

If the problem still appears, contact helpdesk@ggus.org (remove the NONSPAM !) specifying/giving :

   * the version of the LFC/DPM server,
   * the version of the LFC/DPM client,
   * the appropriate logs.
