the number of events in the target file is equal to the sum of events in each source file. But im not sure about the error. i see this, which suggest error message can be ignored.

Can i ignore this error or is there any solution?

Im using lxplus with ROOT 6.30/02

Hello,

Thanks for the question.
I put in the loop @pcanal , who addressed the linked post a while ago.

Cheers,

This seems to be a different issue that the linked post.

Does merging 2 of the 3 files works for all combinations?

thanks,
im facing same issue even with merging any number of files, i.e. 2, 3 or even 4

Alright, odd. What about merging a single file into a new file?

hadd -f ElectronB_ver2.root ElectronBver2_35.root

hadd -f ElectronB_ver2.root ElectronBver2_35.root
hadd Target file: ElectronB_ver2.root
