[Clas12_software] OSG Jobs with background merging are failing

[Maurizio Ungaro]

Dear all:

It turns out that after Tuesday's updates the xrootd interface is no longer supported at JLab 
That’s bad news many current OSG jobs.

We’ll work out a solution hopefully as soon as by tomorrow so jobs can be resumed. 

In the meantime, the OSG jobs requesting background merging have to be removed from the OSG.
Once the situation is resolved, I will place them first in line to be re-submitted. 

Mauri
