Creating a directory with such credentials sounds like a bug in SGE to me...perhaps an SGE config issue?

Only thing you could do is tell OMPI to use some other directory as the root for its session dir tree - check "mpirun -h", or ompi_info for the required option.

But I would first check your SGE config as that just doesn't sound right.

Hi there,

I'm experiencing some issues using GE6.2U4 and OpenMPI-1.3.3 (with gridengine compnent).

During any job submission, SGE creates a session directory in $TMPDIR, named after the job id and the computing node name. This session directory is created using nobody/nogroup credentials.

When using OpenMPI with tight-integration, opal creates different subdirectories in this session directory. The issue I'm facing now is that OpenMPI fails to create these subdirectories:

[charlie:03882] opal_os_dirpath_create: Error: Unable to create the sub-directory (/opt/sge/tmp/25.1.smp8.q/openmpi-sessions- eg@charlie_0) of (/opt/sge/tmp/25.1.smp8.q/openmpi-sessions- eg@charlie_0 [charlie:03882] [[53199,0],0] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: Error in file ../../ openmpi-1.3.3/orte/util/session_dir.c at line 101 [charlie:03882] [[53199,0],0] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: Error in file ../../ openmpi-1.3.3/orte/util/session_dir.c at line 425 [charlie:03882] [[53199,0],0] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: Error in file ../../../../../openmpi-1.3.3/orte/mca/ess/hnp/ess_hnp_module.c at line 273

It looks like orte_init failed for some reason; your parallel process is
likely to abort.  There are many reasons that a parallel process can
fail during orte_init; some of which are due to configuration or
environment problems.  This failure appears to be an internal failure;
here's some additional information (which may only be relevant to an
Open MPI developer):

orte_session_dir failed

This seems very likely related to the permissions set on $TMPDIR.

I'd like to know if someone might have experienced the same or a similar issue and if any solution was found.

Thanks for your help,
Eloi
