Description

Our docs say that one should have user_allow_other in /etc/fuse.conf on compute nodes, but that is not needed when running Singularity.

  • update the documentation along those lines
  • crunch-run needs to only request the allow_other mount option when RuntimeEngine is set to docker.

I ran a test job on 9tee4 after removing user_allow_other from /etc/fuse.conf on the compute nodes:

https://workbench.9tee4.arvadosapi.com/container_requests/9tee4-xvhdp-vv11wi7y4t7276m

It failed with

I've tested that this works with a custom crunch-run binary on 9tee4, where I removed allow_other from /etc/fuse.conf:

Looks like these link targets are reversed in doc/install/crunch2-slurm/install-test.html.textile.liquid

Make sure all of your compute nodes are set up with "Docker":../crunch2/install-compute-node-singularity.html or "Singularity":../crunch2/install-compute-node-docker.html.

Errant ' char in doc/install/crunch2/install-compute-node-singularity.html.textile.liquid

# "Install'python-arvados-fuse and crunch-run":#install-packages

Also in doc/install/crunch2/install-compute-node-singularity.html.textile.liquid there is a link to "Set up a Slurm compute node with Docker":install-compute-node-docker.html -- that title should not include "Slurm" any more. The "introduction" section also shouldn't say Slurm.

It seems a bit odd to divide the fairly small amount of singularity instructions into doc/install/singularity and doc/install/crunch2/install-compute-node-singularity -- could we move the doc/install/singularity information into the new install-compute-node page instead of linking to it?

Thanks, I fixed all that.

Yes, good idea, I've made that change.
