I dont really want to wait something for the jobs to start, just want
each job to be scheduled on a different disk and each disk having a 8
job limit. (8 jobs *4 disks= 32 the same as cores)
I dont think condor can have multiple EXECUTE folders, right? So I was
thinking about doing something like:
1 - somehow get the disk the job is suppose to run
2 - copy all files to the disk
3 - run it there
4 - copy back
5 - clean up
It just feels that it is something condor should do... disks are a
resource too, right? Something like a EXECUTE folder per disk and a
concurrency limit.

The way we tried to deal with that was by writing a small daemon and
helper thatinjected the fileservers load into condor.
We then also modified the START conditional to make sure the
fileservers load was reasonable.
# this condor block tries to grab the load information:
STARTD_CRON_JOBLIST = $(STARTD_CRON_JOBLIST) fileserver_load
STARTD_CRON_FILESERVER_LOAD_MODE = Periodic
STARTD_CRON_FILESERVER_LOAD_EXECUTABLE = /usr/bin/get_load
STARTD_CRON_FILESERVER_LOAD_ARGS = "-options"
STARTD_CRON_FILESERVER_LOAD_PERIOD=60s
STARTD_CRON_FILESERVER_LOAD_LOAD=1
# The start conditionals look like:
CpuBusy = ((LoadAvg / TotalCpus) > 1.5) || (fileserver_load > 9.0)
START=(CpuBusy == FALSE)
After implementing the above solution I then learned about the
concurency limits which might also work.

In some magical land condor would be able to what file servers a job
is hitting and throttle just those jobs.
