Hi Alfonso,

Is this any particular tool that's failing?  What does the state of your cloud 
cluster look like, are there any failures in the log?  (in the cloudman 
interface)

And lastly, when writing a new issue to the mailing list, please create a new 
email instead of replying to an unrelated thread.  This will help us assist you 
and keep track of your individual issue instead of associating it with someone 
else.

Hi Nate,

thanks a lot for your hints. I was finally able to fix the problem. Galaxy 
couldn?t find the .drmerr file because our

SGE installation merged .drmerr into .drmout... now everything works fine!

Cheers,

Sascha

Hi Sascha,

The error message you are getting is because the SGE job?s stdout and stderr 
files are not where Galaxy expects to find them.  The working directory will be 
output to the debug log prior to the job?s execution and should resemble:

//

where:

is the absolute path to the value of job_working_directory in 
universe_wsgi.ini
is determined based on the job ID but is most likely ?000? if you are just 
setting up a new server
is the job?s ID as shown in the debug log

Upon job completion, this directory should contain files like .drmout and 
.drmerr.

Is it possible that your SGE installation is overriding the stdout/stderr 
paths, or that job_working_directory is not a shared filesystem?

Re: [galaxy-dev] Job output not returned from cluster

2011-12-01 Thread Edward Kirton
yes, i think galaxy already grabs these files.  i seem to recall this
process would get stuck if the output was too large (i was running
something with a --debug/verbose option and galaxy would not finish the job
even though it was off the cluster -- had to redirect to a log file).

so i guess others aren't having the same problems as i had, which is good
news

Unless I'm misunderstanding, this is what Galaxy already does.  stdout/stderr 
up to 32K are read from .o and .e and stored in job.stdout/job.stderr.  We do 
need to just store them as files and make them accessible for each tool run, 
this will hopefully happen sometime soonish.

Better yet, Galaxy should read the SGE o and e files and record their

Re: [galaxy-dev] Job output not returned from cluster

2011-11-28 Thread Joseph Hargitai
Ed,

we had the classic goof on our cluster with this. 4 nodes could not see the 
/home/galaxy folder due to a missing entry in /etc/fstab. When the jobs hit 
those nodes (which explains the randomness) we got the error message.

Bothersome was the lack of good logs to go on. The error message was too 
generic - however I discovered that Galaxy was depositing the error and our 
messages in the /pbs folder and you could briefly read them before they got 
deleted. There the message was the classic SGE input/output message - 
/home/galaxy file not found.

Hence my follow up question - how can I have galaxy NOT to delete these SGE 
error and out files?

best,
joe

hi, we've had this issue too -- in short, the cluster node(s) finish writing

galaxy server yet when galaxy checks for the files.

turning the metadata caching off (as recommended on the galaxy wiki) isn't an

loops around the file checking (5sec sleep and retry up to 6 times).  there

i am testing these hacks now but due to the intermittent nature of these

Ah, I suspect this is attribute caching in NFS.  Try mounting with the

Re: [galaxy-dev] Job output not returned from cluster

2011-10-21 Thread Joseph Hargitai
Nate, 

this error is intermittent. You resubmit the same job twice or three time and 
then it works.  Once we are over the midterm exams - which use galaxy - we will 
try to switch the filesystem from autofs to hard mount. We suspect this to be 
the issue.  

Could we suppress e and o SGE style to resolve this issue, or Galaxy wants the 
o? 


Do you have an idea about the url build for galaxy - ucsc page return when the 
url is :8080/galaxy and not just /galaxy? 

thanks,
joe

Hi Joe,

This error occurs when the job's standard output and error files are not
found where Galaxy expects them, namely:

/.o
/.e

Please check your queueing system to make sure it can correctly deliver
these back from the execution hosts to the specified filesystem.

Hi Joe,

This error occurs when the job's standard output and error files are not
found where Galaxy expects them, namely:

/.o
/.e

Please check your queueing system to make sure it can correctly deliver
these back from the execution hosts to the specified filesystem.

Re: [galaxy-dev] "Job output not returned from cluster"

2011-07-29 Thread Edward Kirton
thanks for your comments, fellas.

permissions would certainly cause this problem, but that's not the cause for
me.

most wrappers just serve to redirect stderr, so i don't think it's the
wrapper script itself, but the stdout/stderr files are part of the problem.

the error message is thrown in the finish_job method when it can't open the
source/dest stdout/stderr for reading/writing.  i split the try statement to
add finer-grained error messages but i already verified the files do exist,
so it's seems to be a file system issue.

i suspect it's because the storage i'm using as a staging area has
flashdrives between the RAM and spinnning disks, so upon close, the file
buffers may get flushed out of RAM to the SSDs but not immediately be
available from the SCSI drives.  Or maybe the (inode) metadata table hasn't
finished updating yet.  if so, it's not the fact that the cluster is heavily
utilized, but the filesystem is.  this disk is expressly for staging cluster
jobs.  i'll see if adding a short sleep and retry once upon error solves
this problem... but i won't know immediately as the problem is intermittent.
 that's the problem with fancy toys; they often come with fancy problems!

Which stderr wrapper script? I think there is more than one...

I've also had this error message (I'm currently working out how to
connect our Galaxy to our cluster), and in at least one case it was
caused by a file permission problem - the tool appeared to run but
could not write the output files.

If Galaxy could give more diagnostics rather than just "Job output
not returned from cluster" it would help. For instance, as we use SGE,
perhaps the captured stdout/stderr files might be available.

My jobs have this problem when the command for the tool is wrapped by the 
stderr wrapper script.

Subject: [galaxy-dev] "Job output not returned from cluster"

I've been getting these errors sometimes lately, particularly when the cluster 
is heavily loaded.  The jobs have completed successfully, as I can see the 
output if I click the pen icon, but the job is in a failed state.

Have any other sites been experiencing this problem?
Or can the galaxy developers help shed some light on the issue?

FYI, I use the outputs_to_working_directory option in universe_wsgi.ini so that 
i can use a faster/more reliable filesystem to collect output from the cluster. 
 I'm not using the recently discussed patch to run jobs as the unix user.

I'll continue to experiment with different filesystems and software settings.
