Hoping this is a fairly simple one.

<div class="">This is a small internal cluster that we’ve been
using for about 6 months now, and we’ve had some infrastructure
instability in that time, which I think may be the root culprit
behind this weirdness, but hopefully someone can point me in the
direction to solve the issue.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I do a daily email of sreport to show how busy the
cluster was, and who were the top users.</div>
<div class="">Weirdly, I have a user that seems to be able to use
the same exact usage day after day after day, down to hundredth
of a percent, conspicuously even when they were on vacation and
claimed that they didn’t have job submissions in cron/etc.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So then, taking a spin of the <a
href="https://lists.schedmd.com/pipermail/slurm-users/2022-December/009514.html"
class="" moz-do-not-send="true">scom tui </a>posted this
morning, I then filtered that user, and noticed that even though
I was only looking 2 days back at job history, I was seeing a
job from August.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Conspicuously, the job state is cancelled, but the
job end time is 1y from the start time, meaning its job end time
is in 2023.</div>
<div class="">So something with the dbd is confused about
this/these jobs that are lingering and reporting cancelled but
still “on the books” somehow until next August.</div>

<div class="">I’d love to figure out the proper way to either
purge these jid’s from the accounting database cleanly, or
change the job end/run time to a sane/correct value.</div>
<div class="">Slurm is v21.08.8-2, and ntp is a stratum 1 server,
so time is in sync everywhere, not that multiple servers would
drift 1 year off like this.</div>

<div class="">Thanks for any help,</div>
