This is really strange. Never saw soemthing like this.

For sure not at all.

storage 0 is a compatiblity layer to provide backwards compatibility for 
extensions or TypoScript.

e.g. if you render an image with a path that does not reside in a 
storage you set up (by default only fileadmin/) a storage 0 is created 
on the fly.

e.g.

10 = IMAGE
10.file = typo3conf/ext/news/Images/dummy-preview-image.png

This image is not in a regular storage but a FAL file object is needed 
to render the image, thus a storage 0 is ctreated on the fly to fit the 
needs.

No. Every file must only have one db record. Folders must not have any 
records. Anything else is a bug.

Steps to reproduce would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Helmut
