Removing host from black list

Hi,

I'm setting up Afanasy. Tried to submit a job from Blender, which had some errors and now whatever I send ends with Avoiding Host.
How do I remove that host from black list ?

Thanks,
Lukas

Hi!
Reset Error Hostst menu item, or Errors -> RESET HOSTS button.

I found why the host gets blacklisted. This is a Task Output:

Code: Select all

HOSTNAME=lukas-desktop
Blender 2.93.6 (hash c842a90e2fa1 built 2021-11-17 00:39:23)
Error: Cannot read file '/media/lukas/VFX/affanasy.20211213084506.blend': Permission denied

Blender quit
However this Blender file is fully accessible from all machines (Read & Write permissions) although the server/render machine is not an owner of the file.
If I drop the command from Task->Executable to Terminal it will render the frame.

Any ideas what might be the problem?

Thanks,
Lukas

Hi again!

I found that it's the "render" user that doesn't have access the blender file. The location is a NFS mouted network drive

Code: Select all

id render
uid=1001(render) gid=109(render) groups=109(render)
and the file that I'm trying to render is:

Code: Select all

-rwxrwxrwx 1 1024 users     772304 gru 13 08:45  affanasy.20211213084506.blend
But I don't know how to fix it.

You should setup your file server to make render user to have write access to the project.
Or you can change user that afrender is running by.

And how do I change afrender user ?

It depends on how do you run afrender service.
On Linux, by default, it runs by SystemD.
Read SystemD manuals (for your distribution) about how to change/specify service user.
