[Swift-user] Fwd: get error when try to set swiftworkdirectory to /gpfs

[Yi Zhu]

Hi

I think I've found the reason of error, by using direct address rather 
than linked address, the error disappeared.

e.g. instead of set the directory address: 
"/gpfs/ci/swift/yizhu/swiftwork", i use 
"/autonfs/gpfs-pads/projects/CI-CCR000013/yizhu/swiftwork", and then 
everything works fine.

Hi,

I have a problem after switch my swift working directory from /home/ to
/gpfs

My jobs was running on PADS, and my input data was stored at /gpfs and
the swift work directory was set to /home/swiftwork and everything works
fine.  But when I change my swift working directory from
/home/yizhu/swiftwork ( in sites.xml) to /gpfs/ci/swift/yizhu, i got
lots of job failure( about half of them failed).

since /gpfs/ is also a shared file system and should be transparent for
swift, I have no idea why this happened.
