Permissions seems to be identical on both ondemand and compute.

I waited like min or so but somehow on Ondemand node, connections.yml is not updated at all second time around to catch up with the compute node connections.yml file.

[bennet (Bennet Fauber)]

At least you know where the problem is now! Could be some setting for the GPFS NFS exporter?

[bhushan.chitre]

Yes, we have narrowed out the issue

Would like to get feedback from our community who might be running Open OnDemand either as a virtual/container environment like ours and see how they overcome this issue.

On GPFS side, we exports from node
(rw,no_subtree_check)
On ondemand site.
We mount GPFS with mount -t nfs option to the directory
and then mount --bind point home directory and such for user directories.

Please let me know if something needs to be changed
