Re: [Condor-users] Quick Start Vanilla Condor on Ubuntu 10.04

[Daniel Grollman <daniel.grollman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Matt (and all),

	Thanks for the response, it totally pointed me in the right direction, 
which was the filesystem.  As it's shared, I had to change the 
UID_DOMAIN and FILESYSTEM_DOMAIN configuration parameters, and it all 
worked.

Well, almost.  I've three computers in my pool now, one host and two 
submit/execute machines.  If I submit jobs from either of the non-host 
computers, they get farmed out across all three, and all is dandy.

However, when I submit jobs from the host, they get farmed out, and only 
those on the NON-host machines actually run.  The others get held with 
this message:

user@HOST:~/condor_test$ condor_q -analyze
-- Submitter: HOST : <127.0.1.1:35783> : HOST
 ID      OWNER            SUBMITTED     RUN_TIME ST PRI SIZE CMD 

---
012.003:  Request is held.

Hold reason: Error from starter on slot1@HOST: Failed to open 
'/net/home/user/condor_test/simple.3.out' as standard output: Permission 
denied (errno 13)

I can resolve this by making those files world-writable, but doesn't 
seem correct.  Thoughts?

Also, I'm using 7.2.4 because it's what came down via apt-get.  I'll 
look into upgrading.

Thanks again,

Dan
