Hi Brian,<br>
<br>
I suggested the fastest way of doing it. Your only other options is to write a name-to-name plugin that can change the path in any way you want before it hits the real file stystem. I’m not sure that’s any easier for the admins but it would provide a way of keeping everything in the config file.<br>

Hm, I suppose the symlink trick works.<br>
<br>
We&#39;re working with various pre-existing data sources and documenting how to export the data over Xrootd - it&#39;d be nice to be able to setup the prefixed exports only via config file, but I think symlinks would do (ends up being somewhat difficult to explain to admins why they have to go through the process, but we&#39;ll survive!).<br>
