[sharp-discuss] Autosharp- CAD problem

Dear Sam,

there are two variables within a CCP4 setup related to scratch space:
$CCP4_SCR and $BINSORT_SCR. When installing SHARP/autoSHARP (or adding
new machines to an existing installation) the values are taken from
your current environment or previous setups. It looks like there is
something wrong with these settings:

  - maybe these directories don't even exist? The 'normal' CCP4 setup
    sets e.g. CCP4_SCR=/tmp/$USER. However, some systems clear out
    /tmp regularly, deleting even subdirectories. Therefore, this
    directory might not exist.

  - maybe the directory BINSORT_SCR and/or CCP4_SCR is pointing to is
    not large enough?

So the checks yo should make:

  1. what are the settings of these variables on the various machines
     you have:

       % cd /where/ever/sharp
       % grep "_SCR=" machines/*/ccp4.setup

     which will tell you for each machine (i.e. subdirectory within
     $BDG_home/machines) the values.

  2. make sure these directories actually exist (ON THAT PARTICULAR
     MACHINE!) and will keep existing even after a while.

  3. make sure they have enough free space (maybe clear out a few old
     stuff or enlarge them).

A final solution is to create a scratch directory within the
SHARP/autoSHARP installation (which is visible on all machines anyway)
that has enough space:

  % cd /where/ever/sharp
  % mkdir scratch

  ==> set CCP4_SCR and BINSCORT_SCR to /where/ever/sharp/scratch in
      all machines/*/ccp4.setup files

  ==> BUT: if this disk is NFS mounted some operations (like e.g. CAD)
  might be significantly slower than if it was a truly local disk like
  /tmp.

Hope that helps

Cheers

Clemens
