[Condor-users] strange schedd problem

[Maxim kovgan <maxim.kvg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, list.

We are using "stock" condor 6.8.6 version.

2 central managers are in HAD couple,
one is SL3, other Debian Etch. each running the correct version for its 
arch, and distribution.

We have 2 schedd's.
One is used for production, another is only a backup.

We are currently experiencing the following problem:

the main schedd has started running under the user of the user that uses 
the pool the most, i.e. has the highest value of "Effective Priority"

this is the output of condor_userprio -all:

                                    Effective   Real     Priority   Res 
  Accumulated       Usage            Last
User Name                           Priority  Priority    Factor    Used

The interesting thing is that in the mailing list archives I've found a 
very similar problem to mine:
https://lists.cs.wisc.edu/archive/condor-users/2007-January/msg00201.shtml

Unfortunately it refers to a yet another similar report, and without a 
satisfying solution:

The "solution" was:
"flushing the spool directory for the central manger"


Is there a solution for such symptom, except deleting the spool ?



Thanks in advance,
