[slurm-users] slurm job_container/tmpfs

Hi Ward, 

You're right. 

[root at node01 scratch]# pwd
/scratch
[root at node01 scratch]# ll
total 0
drwx------ 3 root root 30 nov 21 13:41 1809
[root at node01 scratch]# ls -la 1809/
total 0
drwx------  3 root  root 30 nov 21 13:41 .
drwxrwxrwt. 3 root  root 18 nov 21 13:41 ..
drwx------  2  thais root  6 nov 21 13:41 .1809
-r--r--r--  1 root  root  0 nov 21 13:41 .ns

But how can user write or access the hidden directory .1809 if he doesn't have read/write permission on  main directory 1809?

Thanks.

If I look on our system, there should be hidden directory under that directory which is owned by the correct user.

Our job_container.conf has:
Basepath=/local
Dirs=/var/tmp,/tmp,/dev/shm

which gives directories like:
/local/6000522/.6000522/_tmp/

The hidden one is owned by the user of the job.
