That’s an SGE error message - looks like your tmp file system on one of the remote nodes is full. We don’t control where SGE puts its files, but it might be that your backend nodes are having issues with us doing a tree-based launch (i.e., where each backend daemon launches more daemons along the tree).
You could try turning the tree-based launch “off” and see if that helps: "-mca plm_rsh_no_tree_spawn 1" > On Mar 16, 2016, at 3:50 PM, Lane, William <william.l...@cshs.org> wrote: > > I'm getting an error message early on: > [csclprd3-0-11:17355] [[36373,0],17] plm:rsh: using > "/opt/sge/bin/lx-amd64/qrsh -inherit -nostdin -V -verbose" for launching > unable to write to file /tmp/285019.1.verylong.q/qrsh_error: No space left on > device[csclprd3-6-10:18352] [[36373,0],21] plm:rsh: using > "/opt/sge/bin/lx-amd64/qrsh -inherit -nostdin -V -verbose" for launching > > According to the OpenMPI FAQ: > > 'You may want to alter other parameters, but the important one is > "control_slaves", specifying that the environment has "tight integration". > Note also the lack of a start or stop procedure.
