Jenkins hudson.util.IOException2: remote file operation failed

Question

I\'m using CentOS 5 and Jenkins 1.430. When I try to build, I get an error:

hudson.util.IOException2: remote file operation failed: /home/build/jenkins/workspace         


        

Answer 1

If you don't want to reboot then simply kill these processes on the slave

$ ps -ef | grep java
1006     11948 11930  0 Jul17 ?        00:00:00 bash -c cd "/mnt/jenkins" && java  -jar slave.jar
1006     11949 11948  0 Jul17 ?        00:02:55 java -jar slave.jar

Then launch the slave agent again

Answer 2

Well apparently disabling the slave and rebooting it worked. bleh

Answer 3

Terminated the slave and launched it again. Working perfectly.

Answer 4

Got a quite similar error, and fixed it by reverting the "publish over ssh" plug-in from 1.14 to 1.13

Our Jenkins server is run on Debian 8.2 (Jessie), and our slaves under Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty)
