Tools failing on ECC3 #87

Closed kjetilkl closed 1 year ago

kjetilkl commented 1 year ago

All jobs that have been executed on the ECC3 node this year have failed, mostly with the same error:

ERROR  : Failed to create user namespace: user namespace disabled


The same tools have completed successfully on other nodes, so there is probably something generally wrong with the node. I assume it is related to Singularity.

This problem is the same as issue #80.

It appears that the Singularity version on this node has been upgraded from 3.8.7-1.el7 to Apptainer version 1.1.5-1.el7 since last we checked, and this also requires the installation of the apptainer-suid package in order to work properly.

I have installed that now, so it should work (but I have not actually tested it). We are still running the old Singularity version on Slurm and NREC2, but if these nodes are upgraded in the future, we must remember to also include the apptainer-suid package!
