Ok.  Try the developer release and see if it still happens.

Thanks,
Carson

Unfortunately, the job is no longer running and as a result I cannot connect
to the compute nodes as I could while it was running. On the interactive
node, it looks like it's real disk, although it looks like there are some
tmpfs mounts.

I'll see if I can launch another short job and verify this on the compute
nodes.
