- dCache:

  - gftp crashes every few hours 'cause ("OutOfMemoryError" using both OpenJDK and Sun JDK). The issue has been solved upgrading java JDK 1.6 package.
  - Increased the number of movers in order to reduce pending transfers. 

- gLite:

  - CREAM2 upgraded
    glite-CREAM moved from 3.2.13-1 to 3.2.14-1.sl5 
    glite-SGE_utils.x86_64 3.2.3-1.sl5   

- LFC failures due to "Bad magic number":

    Problem seems due to hanging gpfs connections causing lfc timeouts so the work around was 
    to changed CREAM config so the jobs use /tmp instead of gpfs partition to decrease gpfs load. 
    Monitoring the system to be sure the problem do not raise again.
