We are pleased to announce the availability of Slurm version 23.11.8. The 23.11.8 release fixes some potential crashes in slurmctld, slurmrestd, and slurmd when using less common features; two issues in auth/slurm; and a few other minor bugs. Slurm can be downloaded from https://www.schedmd.com/downloads.php . -Marshall

-- Fix slurmctld crash when reconfiguring with a PrologSlurmctld is running. -- Fix slurmctld crash after a job has been resized. -- Fix slurmctld and slurmdbd potentially stopping instead of performing a logrotate when recieving SIGUSR2 when using auth/slurm. -- Fix not having a disabled value for keepalive CommunicationParameters in slurm.conf when these parameters are not set. This can log an error when setting a socket, for example during slurmdbd registration with ctld. -- switch/hpe_slingshot - Fix slurmctld crash when upgrading from 23.02. -- Fix "Could not find group" errors from validate_group() when using AllowGroups with large /etc/group files. -- slurmrestd - Prevent a slurmrestd segfault when parsing the crontab field, which was never usable. Now it explicitly ignores the value and emits a warning if it is used for the following endpoints: 'POST /slurm/v0.0.39/job/{job_id}' 'POST /slurm/v0.0.39/job/submit' 'POST /slurm/v0.0.40/job/{job_id}' 'POST /slurm/v0.0.40/job/submit' -- Fix getting user environment when using sbatch with "--get-user-env" or "--export=" when there is a user profile script that reads /proc. -- Prevent slurmd from crashing if acct_gather_energy/gpu is configured but GresTypes is not configured. -- Do not log the following errors when AcctGatherEnergyType plugins are used but a node does not have or cannot find sensors: "error: _get_joules_task: can't get info from slurmd" "error: slurm_get_node_energy: Zero Bytes were transmitted or received" However, the following error will continue to be logged: "error: Can't get energy data. No power sensors are available. Try later" -- Fix cloud nodes not being able to forward to nodes that restarted with new IP addresses. -- sacct - Fix printing of job group for job steps. -- Fix error in scrontab jobs when using slurm.conf:PropagatePrioProcess=1. -- Fix slurmctld crash on a batch job submission with "--nodes 0,...". -- Fix dynamic IP address fanout forwarding when using auth/slurm.
