[Swift-user] Re: [falkon-user] 1) disable retry mechanism and 2) continue on failure?

[Ioan Raicu]

I think what Zhao is trying to say is that its working good enough for 
tonight, but in the longer term (i.e. next week), we'll have to get to 
the bottom of why Swift can't find the output file.  It might be 
something to do with the fact that we are using local ram disk for lots 
of stuff, and our app scripts aren't putting the app output back to the 
right place on GPFS.  We'll keep digging in the next few days, and pose 
more questions if we can't find a solution.  For now, we are OK, thanks 
for the help!  It looks like we should be able to get a run in with 
Swift on the BG/P tonight after all.
