Description

There seems to be some problem with the home directory.
Many files are impossible to read due to I/O errors.

Same exact problem here, I created an issue already and called up Yann to no response, I can login but files I’ve created aren’t readable,

Remote I/O error likely means something is wrong with the filesystem, @Yann.Sagon au secours !

I have also seen this error on baobab.

(base) (bamboo)-[cardenac@login1 ~]$

I’m not sure if its connected, I was trying to run a quick debug script on the debug-cpus (PID 14190096 & 14190098) but the slurm file retuns an empty slurm-*.out file.

seff shows a State: FAILED (exit code 15) for both.

Hi,

I’ll check and let you know.

The problem has been solved, I will not investigate further due to the vacation week.

We’ll be back on January 3, 2025. :tada:
