hello. I am writing to get some more ideas regarding a problem which is becoming rather hard to tackle. I have my machine as a condor submitter and unfortunately we realised that the local disk transfer speeds for the log and spool files is too slow and limits our maximum job number. Replacing the disk with an ssd will bring another problem close which is processor speed. I have hence decided to alter the config file to be able to make the submitting machine exchanging data over our super fast connection and network storage. I had a go trying out different things for the last days. I got it to momentarily work and the number of jobs I could carry out simultaneously went up to 1200 from 300 which was the earlier limit however then the processor maxed out and cut off taking up more jobs. We are planning to split the administration job to other PCs to get the processing speed required and the max amount of jobs running. I have tried adding the network location folders for the spool and log pathnames in the configuration file:######################################################################## Daemon-wide settings:######################################################################## PathnamesLOG = \\PATHNAME\logSPOOL = \\PATHNAME\spoolEXECUTE = $(LOCAL_DIR)/executeBIN = $(RELEASE_DIR)/binLIB = $(RELEASE_DIR)/libINCLUDE = $(RELEASE_DIR)/includeSBIN = $(BIN)LIBEXEC = $(BIN)However this does not work and the condor service is cut off and I cannot restart it or enquire about it unless I change the config file back to the initial one (i.e. local log and spool folders). I am running condor on a windows 7 machine. Replacing the memory with an SSD is not an option as the job sizes are quite large and there are no funds to do that on a large scale while the network storage can provide the speed we are after. Any ideas?CheersAntonis
