I guess we should allow worker logs to go in some other place than
~.globus/

One of the things discussed as part of the post-mortem of today's home file server outage is mounting home directories read-only on the compute nodes. We do this on Beagle and haven't had any complaints for the most part. So I wanted to solicit you to see how disruptive that might be to your current PADS work. Homes would still be mounted read-write on the login machines, but they wouldn't be writable on the computes. The alternative is to push your writes to either GPFS or the local scratch filesystems. If we don't hear any major complaints about this, we're targeting next month's maintenance to make this live. What are your thoughts on this?
