HI, we are running xrootd 3.3.2 and have configured a bunch of filesystems where xrootd can put the data (actually 4 servers all see the same GPFS filesystems): oss.space public /export/gka8301/xrootd/ oss.space public /export/gka8302/xrootd/ oss.space public /export/gka8303/xrootd/ oss.space public /export/gka8304/xrootd/ oss.space public /export/gka8305/xrootd/ oss.space public /export/gka8306/xrootd/ oss.space public /export/gka8307/xrootd/ oss.space public /export/gka8308/xrootd/ oss.space public /export/gka8309/xrootd/ oss.space public /export/gka8310/xrootd/ oss.space public /export/gka8311/xrootd/ oss.space public /export/gka8312/xrootd/ oss.space public /export/gka8313/xrootd/ oss.space public /export/gka8314/xrootd/ oss.space public /export/gka8315/xrootd/ oss.localroot /export/xrootd/ I've just discovered files where something seems to have gone very wrong when they were written: ll /export/xrootd/15/65005/e4ab025a-840e-11e3-9317-b38c94feed3c lrwxrwxrwx 1 xrootd xrootd 53 Jan 23 10:15 /export/xrootd/15/65005/e4ab025a-840e-11e3-9317-b38c94feed3c -> /export/gka8305/xrootd/public/1B/4DA0CE526BED0000176% ll /export/xrootd/04/31086/82859ca4-8407-11e3-85ef-5b68ff9582bb lrwxrwxrwx 1 xrootd xrootd 53 Jan 23 09:22 /export/xrootd/04/31086/82859ca4-8407-11e3-85ef-5b68ff9582bb -> /export/gka8305/xrootd/public/1B/4DA0CE526BED0000176% getfattr -d /export/xrootd/15/65005/e4ab025a-840e-11e3-9317-b38c94feed3c getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: export/xrootd/15/65005/e4ab025a-840e-11e3-9317-b38c94feed3c user.XrdFrm.Pfn="/export/xrootd/15/65005/e4ab025a-840e-11e3-9317-b38c94feed3c\000" getfattr -d /export/gka8305/xrootd/public/1B/4DA0CE526BED0000176% getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: export/gka8305/xrootd/public/1B/4DA0CE526BED0000176% user.XrdFrm.Pfn="/export/xrootd/15/65005/e4ab025a-840e-11e3-9317-b38c94feed3c\000" getfattr -d /export/xrootd/04/31086/82859ca4-8407-11e3-85ef-5b68ff9582bb getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: export/xrootd/04/31086/82859ca4-8407-11e3-85ef-5b68ff9582bb user.XrdFrm.Pfn="/export/xrootd/15/65005/e4ab025a-840e-11e3-9317-b38c94feed3c\000" So there are two different namespace entries pointing to the same file. How can something like this happen?
