	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? 

	Cheers,
