--mpi-install-scratch actually has MTT install (using DESTDIR) into --scratch. Is that confusing? Though --fast-scratch could also be misleading, as I could see a user thinking that --fast-scratch will do some magical optimization to make their NFS directory go faster. I guess I'm done splitting hairs over --mpi-install-scratch :-) -Ethan > > -- > Jeff Squyres > Cisco Systems > > _______________________________________________ > mtt-users mailing list > mtt-us...@open-mpi.org > http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/mtt-users
