-k oed option works at /home but not in another filesystem like /groups

[hollow_op]

Hello everyone,

I would like understand better how to configure the mom, so as to allow a different filesystem the direct destination write with the option -k oed.

The problem I am having is that my /home directory is one filesystem and the option -k oed works but in a different filesystem (disk) we have at this location /groups every job I send stays on hold forever, essentially because the mom cannot direct write to the destination.

Is there any security issue related to the direct destination write ? I would like to convince the IT team in our HPC facility to allow direct write to /groups as well.

Thanks for your thoughts !

Held jobs - pbs requires world writ access?

Hi, We are using pbs version 19.1.1 , we have the following setup: my user is roy and I’m part of the “all” unix group my colleague user is bob and he is also part of the “all” unix group we are experiencing the following issues: If the user (e.g. roy) submits a job within a directory that he/she is not the owner of (e.g. bob is the owner) and the cwd directory have 775 file/dir pemissions, e.g. drwxrwxr-x Then the job is being re-run 21 times, each time it’s failing to run and eventually…

not really, I am the owner of the directory I am submitting from which is /groups/cgsd/alex , i think this posts relates to someone trying to send job from a directory he is not the owner.

Is /groups/cgsd common or mounted across all the compute nodes and respective folders within this paths are accesible by respective users?
If yes , is * $usecp :/groups/cgsd / /groups/cgsd/ mentioned in the $PBS_HOME/mom_priv/config ? file

/groups is mounted across all compute nodes. I will need to check with out IT support about $PBS_HOME/mom_priv/config since I don’t have permission to read this file.
