> Well, some people could call it a feature, though obviously, for you, it’s a bug. Thanks for your reply! This at least clarifies it's not a configuration mistake on my end. Then indeed, I guess what I really want is rather an "enhancement". > That works just fine for JBOD setups but not for DFS setups (i.e. your Lustre setup) and the client really doesn’t know which kind you have. This raises the question: How does `xrootdfs` know that? It presents the files only once in our configuration, even though it knows all the data servers. So I guess it does some kind of merging already. Based on that, I would go with the option to let `xrdfs ls` do what `xrootdfs` does. This appears to be the "least surprising" solution for the user. My guess is, without reading the code, that `xrootdfs` uses some kind of option "c", i.e. some clever merging. Does that sound sensible?
