Cluster Storage: Setting a Scratch Storage Location
By default, the Apple Qmaster distributed processing system saves temporary process
files in the /var/spool/qmaster directory on the cluster controller. You can also choose
any other location on a local disk. Computers in the cluster will access this location as
needed.
To select a new storage location for a cluster:
1 On the cluster controller, open the Apple Qmaster pane in System Preferences.
2 If any Apple Qmaster services are enabled on this computer, click Stop Sharing to
temporarily turn them off.
3 Click Advanced to open the Advanced pane.
4 Click the Set button next to the Cluster Storage field.
5 Navigate to the folder in the dialog, select it, and then click Choose.
Note: If you are using the default This Computer setting in the Cluster pop-up menu in
the Compressor Batch window, and you choose Cluster Storage as the destination, the
output file will be copied to the Source location.
Click Set to open a dialog
for choosing a new
storage folder.
