[HTCondor-users] Windows Samba and Condor

[Dennis Zheleznyak <dennis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone, 

I have a small cluster that consists of 5 Windows machines. 

The data it self sits on the domain controller of the environment, all the machines have a network mapped drive named L:\.

When submitting a lot of jobs, the submit machine copies the data from the network mapped drive to the "work" nodes - which is a huge drawback, the load on the network is huge and jobs can't start running since most of them are waiting to be copied. 

Is there any way to make the "work" nodes copy the data them selves instead of giving the submit to do that ? 

Thank you, 

Dennis.
