Hi all,
I'm reading http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Performance/Cluster
Could someone expand a little on this section please:
Create a shared temporary directory
Some tools make use of temporary files created on the server, but accessed on the nodes. For this, you'll need to make a directory (galaxy_dist/database/tmp by default) ...
I presume this is talking about the universe_wsgi.ini setting new_file_path = database/tmp (if so, could that be explicit)?
I would like to know more about this from the tool author point of view. Could you at least give one example of a tool that uses this temporary folder? As a tool author I am unclear what the purpose is (and it would be a shock if I accidentally use this mapped folder instead of the local temp drive of a node).
Thanks,
Peter
