5. Known bugs and issues

This release has the following known bugs and issues. Bug numbers refer to the gLite Bug Tracking system database hosted on the CERN Savannah system at https://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/?group=jra1mdw .

• A high failure rate (about 80%) has been observed when submitting job storms. The workaround is to modify the file /opt/condor-6.7.9/local.<HOSTNAME>/condor_config.local to add the following parameter:

NEGOTIATOR_IGNORE_USER_PRIORITIES = True

• Jobs submitted with RetryCount set to 0 are resubmitted multiple times without visible reason. Currently being investigated.
• The current release doesn’t support submission of batch jobs and shallow resubmission. This will be added in future releases
• No removal procedure is provided with this release apart from the removal of the RPMS. Any account, group or other resource created during the module configuration must be manually cleaned.
• The WMS system cannot at the moment submit jobs to a CE using Condor as a batch system (‘vanilla’ universe). This will be fixed in a future release
