Re: [Condor-users] Limiting jobs' disc usage?

[Liam Gretton <L.Gretton@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've experimented with the DISK_EXCEEDED solution at 
http://nmi.cs.wisc.edu/node/1477.

This solution doesn't prevent transfer_input_files from pushing over 
enough data to exceed the limit, and neither does it stop a job from 
creating enough output to go over the limit.

I tested this by setting the limit to a low value rather than trying to 
fill the disc, and watching an executing job's files as they are 
created; the jobs do get preempted when expected, but not until after 
the limit is exceeded.
