In an ideal situation, the root ‘data’ folder /tmp/deadline in the example below is writable by everyone that will be impersonated. In the example below, you wish to redirect local data storage to a directory called: deadline under the generic /tmp location on your Linux machines:Įnsure deadline.ini by default located here: /var/lib/Thinkbox/Deadline/deadline.ini has this property: SlaveDataRoot= set to nothing.Įnsure Auto Configuration is not being used to set the above “Local Data Path” SlaveDataRoot value via Pulse.Įnsure the directory path of your preferred root local ‘data’ path exists and has the correct read-write permissions for all users. If you wish to relocate your local data storage (including each job’s plugins/jobsData folders and temporary job submission data via Monitor/DeadlineCommand) in combination with the Worker “User Security” feature Rendering Jobs As User then the following configuration should be followed instead of relying purely on the Use ‘/tmp’ for Worker Data (Linux) setting in Worker Configuration. Follow the steps in Worker Local Data Storage to update the location where job and plugin data will be stored. These steps are deprecated as of Deadline 10.1.11.
