Re: [HTCondor-users] Account condor-reuse-slot1_10 creation failed! (err=2202)

Unfortunately you can't change the "condor-reuse-" prefix for the dynamic usernames.
And you can't control the 1_10 for the slot number.  But you CAN set "slot" to something else.

if you add

STARTD_RESOURCE_PREFIX=s

Then your dynamic slots will be called

 s1_10@machine-name

and the dynamic usernames will be

  condor-reuse-s1_10
  12345678901234567890

which fits.

Hi!

We are running a windows condor cluster configured with dynamic slots. Recently we added to the pool a new 16-cores machine and suddenly faced problems! Condor is unable to run more than 9 jobs on this new node! Here is what the StarterLog.slot1_10 is saying (the same with all slots upper than 10):

StarterLog.slot1_10

The problem source is more or less clear. We are not using a "run_as_owner" mode and therefore condor creates a temporal account on the running node. The account name has a template "condor-reuse-slot<X>". Windows limits the account name to 20 characters and therefore the name "condor-reuse-slot1_10" cannot be created. This seems to be a bug in condor!

(In condor mail list there was already a similar question - https://www-auth.cs.wisc.edu/lists/htcondor-users/2012-July/msg00064.shtml... Unfortunately unanswered...) 

Any ideas how to proceed?

Thanks,

Alexey
