Ghostbusters wanted:
I use feeds module to create nodes of a certain content type from a particular feed. The content type is only used to create nodes from the feed but it seems to be creating some and updating ghost nodes I can't locate
If I delete all nodes and re-import the import log says it created 1 node and updated 3 nodes. If I filter admin/content to just show the content type in question it only displays 1 node. I do expect the feed to produce 4 nodes

Where are the other 3 nodes hiding and why might they not be displayed when I filter admin/content content=MyContentType status=Any?

I've tried

  1. deleting content via the feeds import menu
  2. deleting content via admin/content
  3. cleared cache
  4. cleared url aliases (no aliases are created that might represent the missing nodes

but can't seem to locate where feeds is finding 3 nodes to update on each run and why its not showing those nodes

Any pointers how I might resolve these ghost nodes?

I was importing nodes using a feed importer, and there I had node title checked as Unique. Also I has Replace existing nodes in settings.

Unfortunately in my CSV file there were some records with duplicate titles, I unchecked the title unique settings and it all rows were now exported.
Got help from IRC ;)
