that means our HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH environment literally ends with @/otls;&

eg.
@set "HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH=tool_directory1;tool_directory2;@/otls;&"

Thanks Fred P for the info. SideFX guys are investigating it so we will see if they come up with something.

Sure. Pretty much the same description as the author's original post. We launch sims via Deadline. All our project data are stored on a huge Isilon NAS storage. Render slave's OS is Rocky Linux 8.8. It happens randomly, so we can't reproduce ourselves on purpose. I've sent couple of corrupted files under this RFE https://www.sidefx.com/bugs/#/bug/135536 [www.sidefx.com] but I can deliver more if needed. Due to fact Houdini isn't give any error during simulation, we discover particular corruption after whole simulation is done and cache is used.

We are using several Houdini versions ranging from 19.5.xxx to 20.0.xxx. In the past we used HQUEUE on windows (also storing outputs to ISILON)and never saw this happening. As I've already mentioned setting of HOUDINI_BUFEREDSAVE didn't help us.

Because we switched to Deadline and linux OS in the same time we cannot tell what the right reason could it be.
