I realise that the symlink is to nexcs-n02, which is now retired. But I already included links to another project for share and work in rose-suite.conf.
I also had several failed attempts to submit my suite over the last days due to disk quotas, although I should have ample space in my project directory. I don’t know if that is related.
Sorry I told you the wrong thing to add to change the location of the output to a different /projects directory. I totally forgot that the top-level suite cylc-run dir is symlinked now. It used to just be the share and work directories that were. The disk I/O error is caused by attempting a circlular symlink I think.
Replace the 2 lines I told you to add at the top of the rose-suite.conf file with:
No worries, thanks a lot for the quick response! The suite is running now.
May the previous disk quota error messages I got be related to this? Or do I have to check my home or scratch directories to be sure? My porcelain project directory is only at about 10% of the storage I asked for, so that shouldn’t be an issue.
I’m not 100% sure but I suspect the disk quota errors were related. The only reason I say that is because I’ve just tried submitting my suite with the wrong settings for root-dir and am getting “Disk quota exceeded” and “Disk I/O” errors too whereas when I set it properly I don’t.
So I would suggest we don’t worry about them now and if they do reappear we can look then and hopefully we will have more information.
