In that case, then a database sound better. Concurrent access to grant input data to each jobâit would be independent of the machine, permits, data size, etcâ. De: Beyer, Christoph [mailto:christoph.beyer@xxxxxxx] that sounds mor like you need a small nfs server, maybe on your collector or another central machine, access rights on nfs are still not great though unless you decide to give nfs v4 a try ... I am not aware that htcondor comes with a fileserver-like part, the file staging is great though and scales very good, maybe less of a hassle than a nfs server ... best christoph
Von: "Alejandro AcuÃa" <alejandro.acunia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Thanks for your Reply Christoph, Our HTCondor cluster is just a private LAN with one master node as gateway and a few processing nodes. Under this paradigm, different hosts are no needed. I vaguely imagined to share a folder in master node (with appropriates permits) and the jobs can consume files from this ubication. We are attemping completely minimize transfer (through input_transfer_files) on each node. This would be possible? Regards Ale De: HTCondor-users [mailto:htcondor-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] En nombre de Beyer, Christoph Hi Ale, do you think of a static directory with a bunch of files, that can be created just as you would on a regular host maybe through a ssh-loop. If it is more about a common base of programs etc. cvmfs comes to mind. If the stuff you host in that dir is more dynamic you could host it on a nfs file server etc. If you want your jos t make sure this 'dir' is present on the workernode you could define an according filesystem domain and request that domain in your job.... Best Christoph
Von: "Alejandro AcuÃa" <alejandro.acunia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi friends. I need to specify a folder with specific shared files for all jobs processing (like a input_transfer_files). I wonder if exists a kind of make available this folder to all processing nodes and put in there all of necesary files (probably files must be readed or writed too). Finally, if itâs posible, how is the submit? Thanks!!! Ale
