Hello!  
when I was using RepeatExplore2 clustering, I met a bug " fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at ‘/opt/repex\_tarean’ ".  
I have four groups of sequences, three of four passed, but last one can not run successfully.  
Is there a way to fix this situation?  
Thank you! 😊

Welcome, @Jerry

If other sequences worked correctly, then I am guessing that the dependency problem is with one specific cluster type or possibly a single node that the job ran on.

Are you the administrator? Check where that job ran versus the others that worked and you’ll likely spot the where the problem was.

You can explain more if I am guessing wrong. Your question was a bit difficult to understand. The banner at this forum includes some FAQ links to guides that explain the kind of information we usually need for job troubleshooting.

Thanks! 🙂
