Motivation: ----------- Recent change(s) that massaged user input target paths and stored absolute paths on bulk backend lead to ambiguity between user provided and dcache resolved paths and also resulted in inability to use full paths (i.e. only relative paths are supported). At Fermilab we need to use both - relative and absolute paths Modification: ------------- Revert all recent changes that appended prefix to user supplied paths, stored the result and then stripped the prefix so that only "original" paths are exposed to the user. Instead, like before, store user supplied paths but carry over request prefix which is computed from user root and door root. When calling PnfsManager using paths the full paths of the targets are reassembled using the prefix Result: ------ Restored ability to use absolute paths when using REST API. Issue: #7693 Patch: https://rb.dcache.org/r/14355/ Target: trunk Request: 10.2, 10.1, 10.0, 9.2 Require-book: no Require-notes: yes Acked-by: Lea Morschel, Tigran Mkrtchyan
