Hi,

I have seen an issue when using xrootd fs mounted via automount. I have one redirector and 8 data servers.

When trying to create a directory or a file via mkdir or touch (or cp)  I get the following behavior :
> touch 8TeV
(1 or 2 seconds after cames the message):
> touch: setting times of `8TeV': No such file or directory

then I try again with mkdir :

> mkdir 8TeV
> mkdir: cannot create directory `8TeV': File exists

An ls -l of the directory shows no sign of 8TeV file or directory created, even when I unmount and mount again the directory.


Then I look on what is in there, this time using xrd connected to the redirector
root://lipnode01:1094//> dirlist /data/xrootdfs/SM
Error 3011: Unable to open directory /data/xrootdfs/SM; no such file or directory

In server lipnode01:1094 or in some of its child nodes.

And I see the 8TeV(x,xx are other tentatives) directories in there. 

The mounting  options for the autofs   are as  bellow :
 /atlas -fstype=fuse,rw,uid=496,allow_other,rdr=root://lipnode01\:1094//data/xrootdfs :xrootdfs.sh

I saw this behavior in xrootd 4.0.4, and just migrated to 4.1.1 and I still have the same problem. 
This is running on a stock SLC6 system. Network is fast enough as I can systematically move files around with xrdcp at about 90MB/s.  I suspect this has to do with some timeout, but I am not sure, as this is kind of intermittent  (sometimes the systems works fine !)

Thanks for any clues ... 

Marco
