What should have happened?

The gfsgenesis task should complete successfully

What machines are impacted?

Jet

Steps to reproduce

Run a forecast-only experiment on Jet will reproduce the error.

Additional information

The error happens in /lfs4/HFIP/hfv3gfs/glopara/git/TC_tracker/feature-GFSv17_com_reorg/scripts/exgfs_tc_genesis.sh

Where line 128-131 reads as follows:

elif [[ -d /lfs3 ]] ; then
  # We are on NOAA Jet
  machine=jet
  ${USHens_tracker}/extrkr_gen_gfs.sh ${loopnum} ${cmodel} ${pert} ${pertdir} #2>&1 >${outfile}

Jet no longer has the /lfs3 directory

Do you have a proposed solution?

update TC_tracker to a more recent version so that it can detect Jet correctly.

Or can we update ens_tracker_ver in run.spack.ver from export ens_tracker_ver=feature-GFSv17_com_reorg to export ens_tracker_ver=v1.1.15.6
