Baobab: Remote I/O error with bash script

user: moinatl

Dear team,

It seems that Baobab has a problem making connections with certain files when running a bash script. I’m experiencing an error called ‘Remote I/O error,’ and I don’t understand why. Do you have an explanation?

Best,

Laure

PS: we are several to experience this error

Hi,

we also see odd things:

(baobab)-[coppinp@login1 ~]$ ls -l /srv/beegfs/scratch/groups/dpnc/
ls: cannot read symbolic link '/srv/beegfs/scratch/groups/dpnc/dampe': Remote I/O error

from what I remember, ‘/srv/beegfs/scratch/groups/dpnc/dampe’ is a simlink to ‘srv/beegfs/dpnc/groups/dampe/’

but the directory is there and mounted:
ls -l /srv/beegfs/dpnc/groups/dampe/
total 2
drwxrwx--- 5 usr_s_dampe1 private_dpnc 3 Aug 13 11:53 prod
drwxrwxrwx 24 usr_s_dampe1 private_dpnc 27 Jul 15 10:03 public
drwxrwx--- 8 usr_s_dampe1 private_dpnc 9 Jun 3 01:42 users

Hello,

I’m checking. I’ll update this post.

Hello,

I am also experiencing I/O errors with my jobs on Baobab. It does not seem to be able to write data to scratch or when it does it is extremely slow. I also noticed that suddenly all my jobs (a dozen) crashed (almost at the same time) and the logs showed errors like “ Unable to write file … “

Best,

Oscar.
