- BEAR Cloud and CaStLeS VMs: These VMs can have one of two OSes. Those with access to a BEAR Cloud or CaStLeS VM should check that the listed architectures for an application include the OS of VM being used. The VMs, irrespective of OS, will use the haswell CPU type.
Common Problems
Stata not executing final command
If you find that Stata is not executing the final command in your .do
file, then try adding a newline at
the end of the file.
I/O error writing .dta file
When running a Stata job in BlueBEAR you may get this error:
I/O error writing .dta file - Usually such I/O errors are caused by the disk or file system being full.
In that case the following should fix it, added before you execute stata-mp (or stata, or stata-se):
export STATATMP="/scratch/${SLURM_JOBID}"; mkdir ${STATATMP}
This tells stata to write its temporary files into a new, job-specific folder in the /scratch filestore - instead of into /tmp
