Several authentication problems were caused by a expired proxy in /tmp that was used by default (insted of the one stored in myproxy).

When this proxy was removed, the problem was solved and the transfers started again.

The log level was turned back to debug, but the load seems to keep relatively low.

The original load and database problems are not completely understood yet.

The agents of the three active channels were dead during the night, so no transfer were perfomed. The cause of the death is still to be seen.

We have restarted all the services this morning and keep studying the logs.

During the day, we stopped the load generator and decreased the log level from debug to warn, and as consequence the load of the machine got down.

Akos also created the missing /etc/grid-security/vomsdir. That eliminated some error messages (although was not cause of real problems).

High load was detected in lxshare026d, the transfer rate dropped a lot, the "/" partition were the tomcat logs were increased dramatically.

Akos Frohner intervened in lxshare026d to move the logs that were filling up "/" to the larger "/var". This give FTS team time to understand the real cause of the problem. He also restarted tomcat to see it that improved things... To be seen.

These are the details.
