[Swift-user] pbs failure on pads

[Michael Wilde]

Zhao, I was just debugging a similar problem. Mine turned out to be caused by leaving on replication in swift.properties. Try  setting replication.enabled=false in swift.properties, and let us know if that solves it.

You should also set the maxwalltime value in tc.data to the expected runtime of the app, and maxtime in the sites.xml entry to some multiple of that for the coaster block.
