Dear OM users, Maybe someone of you can give me some hint how I can solve the following problem: On our cluster somebody has launched a job that writes constantly to disk, and therefore the jobs always remains on the home node. In order to free the home node I would like to migrate the job on another node (using migrate), but it always comes instantly back to the home node after a quick migration. I tried to lock the process using echo 1 > /proc/PID/lock but when I check /proc/PID/lock using "more" I always find a 0 in there ... is it possible to lock a running process or is it possible to migrate a running process and lock it on an external node? Thank you for any insight ... Bye the way: I use om with the kernel 2.4.26 Best regards, Jürgen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
