[NLPL Task Force (A)] [uninett.no #180417] nlpl saga pilot testing

[Thomas Röblitz via RT]

Hei Stephan, Bjørn,

Access to the shared directory: Would it be ok if it would be writeable by all users? Reason I'm asking is that the procedures for managing groups seem to be not fully defined/implemented yet and we need to focus on other things right now. Moreover, we'd like to avoid manual settings which might be lost if we need to reinstall nodes.

I see that it is fine with you to have a path such as /cluster/shared/nlpl (note, is intended for sharing among several projects, which is likely no issue for you) or /cluster/projects/nnABCDk. Unfortunately, /projects/nlpl is not possible.

Greetings

Thomas
