[Condor-users] disk space on file server fills up and condor drops the complete output

["Rob Stevenson" <r.stevenson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear group,

I have an occasional problem that shows only when the network drive a user is working from fills up:

 

The user submits his job into the vanilla universe from a network drive mounted on windows

A condor server transfers files to its local drive to begin processing

While the job is running the network drive fills up

The job finishes and condor tries to transfer the results back to this network recourse.

This fails due to lack of space, but during this attempted copy it still deletes the original files from the condor server.

 

Currently I take backups of /condor/execute fairly regularly throughout the day. However if this problem occurs at the beginning of the weekend we can lose two days of running time.

 

Has anyone seen this issue before? Do you know of a workaround or fix for it?

 

Many thanks for reading,
