[mpich-discuss] File I/O doesn't work with mapped network drive

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,
 Please use the "-map" option available with mpiexec to map any network
drive that you use in your MPI job (eg: mpiexec -n 2 -map
x:\\MACHINE_NAME\MAPPED_DRIVE_NAME cpi.exe)
 Let us know if it works for you.
 
Regards,
Jayesh

Good day.
I've developed MPI (MPICH 1.0.8) application working with file that is
located on mapped network drive (letter z:, for example, z:\my.bin). 
The drive Z was mapped by Windows Explorer and it's avalaible for all
nodes.
 
My application (run with mpiexec -n X(1,2,3...) "c:\my_app.exe", it has
copy on all nodes) get an error when it attemps to open this file from any
node (no such file or directory). If i disconnect mapped network drive in
Windows and use -map option, it works well, but there are some reasons
because of I can't use this approach.
 
Tell me please, why can't SMPD find files are located on mapped network
drive, mounted by Windows (Explorer)?
