So that means if the network connection goes out for a moment on a
really long running job that is accumulating output, the person will
lose all that has been accumulated? I suspected that's what was
happening to one of my students who was running 5 day jobs earlier
this school year, but wasn't certain.
I don't think loosing the network for a moment will cause problems
unless the cache manager times out. Another problem may be that
your students tokens expired.
Is there a way around this (besides writing closes in to the program,
or using space in /tmp)?
I believe that fsync's will also force data to be written to the server.
