#1721: Simfactory's test mechanism should use softlinks instead of rsync

 Reporter: Erik Schnetter
   Status: open
Milestone: 
  Version: development version
     Type: enhancement
 Priority: minor
Component: SimFactory

Comment (by Roland Haas):

As pointed out in [https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/1721/simfactorys-test-mechanism-should-use?iframe=true&spa=0#comment-50394399](https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/1721/simfactorys-test-mechanism-should-use?iframe=true&spa=0#comment-50394399) not all clusters allow access to the file system that contains the source code from a running job. 

So copies are required there.

To avoid the complication of a cache or determining if symbolic links would work, I suggest we keep the copying.
