I replaced the file names here by ***** but any jobs/scenes submitted from maya get the same error.
I don’t find any answers or “clues” in order for me to resolve this problem.

It would be very appreciated if someone could help me or explain what this Input/output error means.

Thanks in advance,

You said you swapped the file paths, but are you really submitted scenes from local files?

2021-10-15 13:16:37: 0: CheckPathMapping: Swapped "C:\Users**\Documents\maya\projects*__/data/masterLayer/.ass" with "/mnt/Data/CUsers*Documentsmayaprojects52e5ab43e28f0c6fea5f069465eb5d85/__*****/data/masterLayer/****.ass"

This looks all kinds of wrong

Hi Anthony,
Yes it’s submitted from local files, sorry I made a typo when replacing file names by ***. It looks like this ;

2021-10-15 13:16:37: 0: CheckPathMapping: Swapped “C:\Users\USER\Documents\maya\projects\Project_name/data/masterLayer/Scene_name.ass” with “/mnt/Data/CUsersUSERDocumentsmayaprojects52e5ab43e28f0c6fea5f069465eb5d85/Project_name/data/masterLayer/Scene_name.ass”

Does that get transferred to the AMI and mounted like that?

Sorry, I’ve never used it this way so not seen it like that before.

Can you access the machine and see if

/mnt/Data/CUsersUSERDocumentsmayaprojects52e5ab43e28f0c6fea5f069465eb5d85/

Is actually mounted?

5

I’m not sure what you’re asking… The instances have been terminated since.
I’ll start a new infrastructure, launch a new spot fleet with the Arnold Standalone AMI and try access one of the instance via AWS management console to see if it’s actually mounted.

I can see the worker via AWS management console but can’t access it with WinScp to see if it’s mounted as it doesn’t show me an ipv4 adress to access to.

I still get the same error after the “CheckPathMapping: Swapped […]”
