Bug Description

dirac-pilot/Pilot/pilotTools.py
910:        self.genericOption = ""
1209:                self.genericOption = v

dirac-pilot/Pilot/pilotCommands.py
378:            if "diracInstallOnly" in self.pp.genericOption:
400:            if "cvmfsOnly" in self.pp.genericOption:

dirac/src/DIRAC/WorkloadManagementSystem/Agent/SiteDirector.py
651:            for genericOption in queueDict["GenericOptions"].split(","):
652:                pilotOptions.append(f"-o {genericOption.strip()}")

From the code, it is clear that:

• genericOption is meant to be given multiple times
• but the parsing code only stores the last of the given -o options

The other -o option comes from SiteDirector:

dirac/src/DIRAC/WorkloadManagementSystem/Agent/SiteDirector.py
654:        if "SharedArea" in queueDict:
655:            pilotOptions.append(f"-o '/LocalSite/SharedArea={queueDict['SharedArea']}'")

but the pilot does not seem to do anything with it?

Fixed in #285
