Cadence schematic access permission issues with mounted folders

KSANK

 Hi,

We recently moved from a 'Samba' based remote file mounting to  "sshfs" based file mounting . After the migration, we are unable to open any schematic in the mounted folders with write permission.

Upon trying to open the files we get an error

('SCH-1217') : Could not open'schamtic' for edit.

(DB-270000)  dBOpenCellViewByType: Unable to lock  database file for  'filepath'

Would you like to open it for read?

 The native linux permissions of the mounted folders look good and we are able to read/write files into the mounted folders from the command prompt. Any clues on why virtuoso thinks the mounted folders as 'read only' when linux permissions are good??

  • Hi,
    was there any solution for the problem?
    I am experiencing the same issue when accessing an open access library with virtuoso which is mounted over "sshfs". Interestingly this only happens when accessing symbol or schematic views. textviews (like verilog) work fine...
    Interestingly when looking at the lock files normally for symbol and schematic two files get created, whereas for textviews only one files which does not contain the host and domain name. Example:

    schematic view:
    sch.oa.cdslck.RHEL30.hostname.domainname.10893
    sch.oa.cdslck

    symbol view:
    symbol.oa.cdslck.RHEL30.hostname.domainname.10893
    symbol.oa.cdslck

    verilog/functional view:
    verilog.v.cdslck

    I suspect that the locking of virtuoso gets confused somehow together with sshfs...When using a different lock mechanism (why?) for schematic views and lock files refering the remote hostname, "thinking" the file is already locked by the remote (filesystem exporting host) somehow.

    Any ideas?

    Best regards, Markus
