Hi Wilko,
yes, the files were written via xrootd. Most likely different servers
out of the four servers in the GPFS cluster were used to write the
different files.
As you know, in the old days the PFNs were representations of the LFNs
with a simple substitution. Now they are different and it seems they are
not "unique enough" - or we are doing something wrong.
Cheers,
Andreas
