[Swift-devel] Provider staging is failing

[wilde at mcs.anl.gov]

Mihael, Justin,

Im trying to use provider-staging for the first time. It seems to be starting the worker in /, and hence staging in fails right away (on _swiftwrap).

Where is the worker supposed to start when using provider staging?

Ive tried to set the jobdir to /tmp using the <scratch> tag but that doesnt seem to be honored.

Ive tried a few different sites configurations; Im running from bridled to communicado using ssh. My most recent is:

  <pool handle="localhost">

    <execution provider="coaster" url="communicado.ci.uchicago.edu" jobmanager="ssh:local"/>
    <!-- <profile namespace="globus" key="workerManager">passive</profile> -->

    <profile namespace="globus" key="workersPerNode">8</profile>
    <profile key="jobThrottle" namespace="karajan">.07</profile>
    <profile namespace="karajan" key="initialScore">10000</profile>
    
    <profile namespace="swift" key="stagingMethod">file</profile>

    <filesystem provider="local" url="none" />
<!--
    <workdirectory>/home/wilde/swiftwork</workdirectory>
-->
    <scratch>/tmp/wilde/scratch</scratch> 
  </pool>
