Hi all.
My network setup is very very simple, but i really can’t understand what wrong with my deadline setup.
-
My computers:
Windows XP - (laptop)
Linux - OpenSUSE 11.2
-
On Windows XP i install deadline repository to point: D:/DeadlineRepository and make shared ( this look as //laptop/DeadlineRepository from linux box)
3
On linux i mount it to /DeadlineRepository with command:
mount -t cifs //laptop/DeadlineRepository /DeadlineRepository -o credentials=/storage/.creds,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777
all mounted ok. all writable and readable ok. (i can read, write, create files and folders and erase.) Ok. We have now readable and writable deadline repository folder.
-
Reboot. run on linux box deadlineslave from command line - it start, all work ok. Repository founded.
Then i try to render simple Nuke scene and what i see: (look to attached images. Sorry for this, but i don’t understand why copy-paste text not work in GTK apps, and work only for deadline apps. I cant grab text)
All tasks is active. In one time. But - nothing happen. No rendering.
Please help me understand what i do wrong ?
Very big thanks for answers…
im forget to say:
Why i say about CIFS error ?
My next attempt:
-
i just install deadline repository on my small FAT32 drive. (Second HDD on Linux box - drive mounted to point /mnt/win_e ) deadline repository now on /mnt/win_e/DeadlineRepository
-
I just start deadlinemonitor and point repositroy to "/mnt/win_e/DeadlineRepository "
-
Submit Nuke job.
-
All work nice!!!
this is are CIFS problem ?
and //laptop/share and /mnt/win_e/DeadlineRepository is both visible, readable, and writable
what difference ?
That’s really strange. First, can you enable Slave Verbose Logging? You can do this in the Monitor while in super user mode by selecting Tools -> Configure Repository Options. You’ll find the Slave Verbose Logging option under the Logging section. After enabling it, close the Slave application on the Linux box and requeue all the tasks for that job. Now, start up the Slave again and let it run until the job ends up in this state again.
Once you have reproduced this state, go to the Slave application and select Help -> Explore Log Folder. Then close the slave. Finally, find the most recent slave log in the log folder and attach it to your next post. Hopefully it will contain some information that explains the problem.
I guess one last thing to check would be the permissions for the Deadline Repository folder on your laptop. Just make sure that Everyone has full read/write access. This covers the Sharing tab:
software.primefocusworld.com/sof … On_Windows
And this covers the Security tab:
software.primefocusworld.com/sof … On_Windows
Cheers,
We use CIFS here for shares without any problems, and we’ve used it to connect to repositories on Windows and Linux machines. I don’t see anything that immediately tells me there is a problem with your CIFS setup…
thanks for superfast answer!!
give me 10 minutes plz, i really can’t understand what may be wrong, and what the difference between two shares… But one work nice, and another - is not…
10 minutes.
Logs is ready…

Ryan, i think something is wrong with windows (as always however) - because
-
all access is granted, but anyway i see error.
Another words: tomorrow i must try on another computer.
I do some experiments with DeadLine, because our studio plan to buy renderfarm. I need show some results.
Thanks you for very fast feedback 
Strange results:
- I move repository on NTFS USB drive - and get the same error. I was wrong… This is not network CIFS error.
- I change in fstab mount options for my USB drive - umask=0, and all work nice. Render process is started.
- Now i need to do something with my experimental stupid magic Windows and mount options for it.
Result: This is are not CIFS error, this is are file access error.
great 
//laptop/DeadlineRepository /DeadlineRepository/ cifs credentials=/.cred,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,noperm 0 0
noperm – client does not perform permission checks. Needed if uid and gid are not the same on client and server.
Problem is solved.
Thanks Ryan !
cool this fixes the same issue on Ubuntu 9.10 using smb shares and deadline 4.0
