How to Enable Files in Repos in DBR 7.3 LTS ML ?

[vishallakha]

we need a custom version of a GPU cluster with following requirements for a certain project:

Ubuntu 18.04

Cuda 10.1.

Tesla T4 GPU.

Availability of /Workspace/Repos folder.

All of these requirements are available with DBR ML 7.3 LTS. But one critical component missing there is Files in Repos.(/Workspace) directory.

How can I mount /Workspace directory with 7.3 DBR ? How did users use to view /Workspace/Repos directory before the release of 11.3 DBR ?

Hi, To work with non-notebook files in Databricks Repos, you must be running Databricks Runtime 8.4 or above.
