Q: Why is Nextflow returning a "... /.git/HEAD.lock: Operation not supported" error?
This problem can occur if your Nextflow pod uses an Azure Files-type (SMB) Persistent Volume as its storage medium. By default, the jgit library used by Nextflow attempts a filesystem link operation which is not supported by Azure Files (SMB).
To avoid this problem, please add the following code snippet in your pipeline's pre-run script field:
cat <<EOT > ~/.gitconfig
[core]
supportsatomicfilecreation = true
