I use mpirun -np 50 -am ft-enable-cr --mca snapc_base_global_snapshot_dir
--hostfile .mpihostfile xxxx
to store the global checkpoint snapshot into the shared
directory:/mirror,but the problems are still there,
when ompi-checkpoint, the mpirun is still not killed,it is hanging
there.when doing ompi-restart, it shows:
mpiu@nimbus:/mirror$ ompi-restart ompi_global_snapshot_333.ckpt/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: The filename (ompi_global_snapshot_333.ckpt/) is invalid because
either you have not provided a filename
or provided an invalid filename.
Please see --help for usage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
