hi helpdesk,

Could you assist with the following? although I have run this suite succesfully in the past. I am now getting the error below. It is failing at umbuild\>\> fcm\_make2\_um.  
As far as I know, I have only changed the nemo start file from the last sucessfull run.

with many thanks,  
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

Retrigger the task. Don’t forget to remove the fcm lock directory (`/work/n02/n02/jgrist02/cylc-run/u-da510/share/fcm_make_um/fcm-make2.lock`) first. Sometimes ARCHER2 just goes a bit slower.

Cheers,  
Ros.
