#180: Reduce disk space used by checkpoints --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: mthomas Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Comment (by hinder):
This is now a real problem on Damiana because we are short of disk space.
The idea of going "back in time" to solve a problem is nice in theory, but for large simulations it is simply not practical due to the space requirements. We are having to log in to the cluster every day to delete old checkpoint files because there is only enough space for one or two sets.
What do you think of an option for simfactory to delete checkpoints during cleanup, which will happen between restarts? SimFactory could check that there is at least one complete set of checkpoint files in the simulation.
