Hello,

You have to run this command as root from the server. It will exec remotely on all nodes the command (in this case, the /home will be mounted from NFS). The reasons can be numerous but one of them is that your NFS server was maybe down when the node booted . > Would it have worked to repear the whole install/setup strictly logged in as > root (including startx from root so there is no trace of other non-root user > accounts that OSCAR could pick up)? Well, yes, by running the OSCAR wizard another time (IIRC the complete cluster setup) then the /home will have been mounted on the /home. However, because most of your users will be regular (unprivilegied) users, the tests are performed with a regular user (oscartest) so that this kind of problem can be detected ... and corrected !
