NCSA scaling patch for ia32 cluster April, 2001 Galen Arnold, arnoldg@ncsa.uiuc.edu What's this? ____________ This patch file modifies src/resmom/requests.c and start_exec.c so that spooled stderr and stdout are written to $HOME/.pbs_spool if it exists and the file modes are now 666 so that root (squashed over nfs) can write prologue and epilogue messages. We went to nfs delivery [#define NO_SPOOL_OUTPUT 1 in server_limits.h] when we ran into sporadic rcp errors at the end of jobs with 500+ nodes. This patch will have no effect until you define NO_SPOOL_OUTPUT in src/include/server_limits.h: #define NO_SPOOL_OUTPUT 1 How to patch PBS: _________________ The patch was generated from OpenPBS_2_3_12 source. It should be compatible with other closely numbered versions. patch -N -p1 -l < pbs_spool.patch
