Well if they can be edited so that you have u+w then it would be ok to copy them at that point in time.

Closing this since 0.11.1 seem to do what I had in mind

The permission, utime errors might be seomthing unrelated, I see the same problem on non-hardlinked files. And yes, the files do exist afterwards.

And of course I forgot to say that these are Lustre FS:es both of them.

On the other hand, rsync doesn't handle hard links unless given -H/--hard-links, so neither should dsync. But such an option should be added.

I'd vote for adding a "reframe_module" definition (general and/or part partition) which, if defined, should be used instead of the bootstrap stuff for doing remote_detect. I.e. use already existing installation...

Ah yes, that's the one I opened before. Had forgotten about it.

It should probably also use ``` valid_systems = ['+gpu'] valid_prog_environs = ['+cuda', '+hip'] ``` like gpu_burn does to simplify usage.

Nah, the situation I'm thinking of is that I have multiple partitions which almost the same, features are "gpu" for instance, and I want to run the test on all...
