Description From Mats Rynge 2005-03-24 10:33:45

PBS has its own filemapping for mapping directories from worker nodes to head
node. Example:

$usecp          viz-login-int:/nfs/home /nfs/home
$usecp          *.isi.edu:/nfs/home /nfs/home


PBS fails to do this mapping if the job description has extra slashes:

#! /bin/sh
# PBS batch job script built by Globus job manager
#
#PBS -S /bin/sh
#PBS -m n
#PBS -o //nfs/home/rynge/job_8f415210-9444-11d9-8cd4-cbc76d304c2b//out.90
#PBS -e //nfs/home/rynge/job_8f415210-9444-11d9-8cd4-cbc76d304c2b//err.90


These extra slashes usually comes from using ${GLOBUS_SCRATCH_DIR} in the RSL
(for example, like Condor does).

Because the output files can't be mapped, they can't be transferred back to the
head node and the job fails.

Reassigning to Mats for verification that this is still an issue.

This problem still exists in globus_4_0_branch. This is part of the submit file
written out by GRAM:

#! /bin/sh
# PBS batch job script built by Globus job manager
#
#PBS -S /bin/sh
#PBS -m n
#PBS -o //nfs/home/rynge/00d255b8-e74d-11d9-96e1-0008744f939a.0.stdout
#PBS -e //nfs/home/rynge/00d255b8-e74d-11d9-96e1-0008744f939a.0.stderr
#PBS -l nodes=1


Reassigning to Peter.

I don't see this happening anymore using the current code in globus_4_0_branch
or the trunk.  Feel free to reopen the bug if you can show explicitly how to
reproduce it.
