I'm trying to submit a job on a cluster via qsub, but it gets stuck in state "Eqw" with error message:

$ qstat -j 466 | grep error
error reason    1:          09/18/2015 17:12:32 [1125:3453]: error: can't chdir to /export/home/rafaelmf: No such file or direct

I'm just using a test.sh script with echo "Hello World" output so I can try adding or removing options like -cwd, -j, -o. But nothing works.

qstat also shows:

sge_o_home: /export/home/rafaelmf
sge_o_workdir: /state/partition1/home/rafaelmf

and I know export is a link to state/partition1/.

Also, I don't have root access, and all is done with ssh. So, does anyone know how to deal with such error (without sudo)?

  • I'd guess that that directory probably isn't mounted on the job-running system, check with `df` or `ls` though (besides rebooting) fixes for such a case usually require `sudo` to correct NFS mounting problems... – thrig Sep 18 '15 at 22:11
  • That directory isn't accessible on the execution host. You can also echo commands to `qsub` to confirm this a little bit more. Try `echo 'df -h' | qsub` or `echo 'ls -l /export/home/rafaelmf' | qsub`. – slm Sep 18 '15 at 23:54
  • `df` shows /state/partition is mounted, but /export/home/rafaelmf is not. But export -> state/partition1/. @thrig @slm – Rafael Sep 19 '15 at 14:26
  • Do you have multiple qsub jobs running from within that directory? – rnoodle Apr 07 '17 at 13:27
