Hi Martin, thanks, indeed the issue is that an automatic job removes them, which we don't want to change. /dev/shm seems not ideal either.

It might that the OS has some kind of job or inotify event that cleans /tmp from old files... /Martin On Wed, Jan 10, 2018 at 11:36 AM, John Donners < [ mailto:[email protected] | [email protected] ] > wrote: Hi all, I got several builds that failed because the source file could not be found. It turns out that EasyBuild unpacks files with their original timestamps (could be years old) and that these get removed automatically from /tmp (no other non-networked filesystem available, I'm afraid) before the build completed. I now changed the framework locally to use 'tar xm' to get the current time as timestamp. That works fine for me. I thought to create a pull request for this, but maybe you solved it some other way (hard to imagine you didn't run into similar issues before;)?
