no access to fix directories on gaea-c5

[DeniseWorthen]

On GaeaC5, at develop 3ef2e6b I can link the directories (./link_fixdirs.sh emc gaea) but I cannot ls or cp any of them. I need to copy the fix files used by the UWM coupled configs into a sandbox run directory on gaea. I am not an epic project member, afaik.

ls /gpfs/f5/epic/proj-shared/global/glopara/data/fix/am/20220805
ls: cannot access '/gpfs/f5/epic/proj-shared/global/glopara/data/fix/am/20220805': Permission denied

@DeniseWorthen is this a UFS_UTILS issue or a permissions issue? Is this an EPIC owned directory?

[DeniseWorthen]

I think it is because it is an EPIC owned directory. We have the same issue in UWM, where the baselines and input reside in a world-shared directory (/gpfs/f5/epic/world-shared/UFS-WM_RT/NEMSfv3gfs).

Do you know who in EPIC can help? I will assign the issue to them.

@KateFriedman-NOAA do you work with EPIC to host the fixed data on some machines?

The fix directories on Gaea were added in this #935 by @DavidBurrows-NCO

Hi @DeniseWorthen @GeorgeGayno-NOAA. Yes..this is a project code permission issue with proj-shared directories. I also have the fix files at /gpfs/f5/ufs-ard/world-shared/global/glopara/data/fix. These world-shared directories are available to everyone. I see some broken links at the world-shared location. Let me double check those, and I will respond back to this issue.

[DavidBurrows-NCO]

@DeniseWorthen @GeorgeGayno-NOAA The broken links have been corrected. I have also created a PR #972 to address the correct link in fix/link_fixdirs.sh.

@DavidBurrows-NCO Thanks for your help.
