[Condor-users] ERROR starting jobs: Jobs get evicted fror unknown reason (108)

[Thomas Bretz <tbretz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

randomly many of our submitted jobs get immediatly evicted when 
started. I have no idea what's going on, because one log-files says 
"Unknown Reason" All other logfiles contain neither warnings nor errors.
The current behaviour of condor (6.8.0 on suse linux 9 and 10) makes it 
completely unusable, because some jobs take 20-30 negotiation cycles until 
they really start running. I also tried to switch on more log-output, but 
also this output does not contain any information which gives a hint why 
the jobs are evicted.

Any help is welcome,
Thomas
