[Condor-users] Condor and Suse Linux 9.1



Hello!

I wanted to ask if anyone has experience in using Condor on Suse Linux
9.1. 

So far, we have installed Condor on systems running Suse 8.2 and there
are no problems. However, when trying to use - both the version 6.6.6
and 6.7.0 - with 9.1, the first problem shows up when starting the
daemons for the frist time. The "Startd" fails to load because it
cannot determine the memory of the machine. The logfile says:

----------------------------------

----------------------------------

After manually inserting the memory in the condor_config file,
condor_startd starts up and everythin seems to run smoothly. However
as soon as you try to submit a job, strange things happen. Condor
claims that the submit-file is not readable and the output-files not
writeable.

----------------------------------

condor@PFT110:~/test> /usr/local/condor/bin/condor_submit print.sub
Submitting job(s).
Logging submit event(s).
1 job(s) submitted to cluster 2.

WARNING: File /home/condor/test/print.sh is not readable by condor.

WARNING: File /home/condor/test/hallo.out is not writeable by condor.

WARNING: File /home/condor/test/hallo.err is not writeable by condor.

----------------------------------

The job simply goes into idle. When I try to remove the job via
condor_rm, everything breaks down. The condor_schedd crashes and you
can't do any more then kill all condor daemons.

The problem(s) I described above occur on two different machines. As
soon as I install Suse 8.2, everything works perfectly again. 

If anyone had a clue as to what the problem with Suse 9.1 is, I'd be
very happy for any advice.

Thanks,

Bjoern
