[HTCondor-users] Potential documentation bug for RESERVED_DISK?

["Sever, Krunoslav" <krunoslav.sever@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

the documentation for RESERVED_DISK says that the unit KB is assumed (same as Disk).

It looks like it is in MB, though - in the source code we have:

condor_sysapi/reconfig.cpp
_sysapi_reserve_disk = param_integer_c( "RESERVED_DISK", 0, INT_MIN, INT_MAX );
_sysapi_reserve_disk *= 1024;    /* Parameter is in meg */

We recently used the config variable to reserve 2GB which caused the calculated DISK attribute to be set to 0 on some hosts, when using 2000000.

These hosts then simply did not match jobs (insufficient DISK) and it took us a while to find out why...

After removing three 0's and using 2000 instead, the hosts again have DISK and immediately started running jobs.

Best
  Kruno
