 Reporter:  eschnett    |       Owner:  eschnett
     Type:  defect      |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  major       |   Milestone:

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 Surveyor is a BlueGene/P, and the operating system apparently does not
 support hard links. Submitting a job via Simfactory fails:

 OSError: [Errno 95] Operation not supported

 Simfactory should catch this, and should copy the file if it cannot be
 linked.
