Changing account names in sacctmgr
by Burian, John 05 Jun '25

05 Jun '25

All, For reasons I won’t go into, we find we need to change the POSIX group names for all of our users. My understanding is that in the absence of an --account option, sbatch/salloc assumes the account is the user’s primary POSIX group. So, to change group names, we’ll need to change the account names on all the associations in sacctmgr. And ideally, we would change account names in accounting records so we don’t lose accounting history. One is tempted to get into the Slurm DB and start … [View More]

error building debug packages on ubuntu 24.04
by Charles Hedrick 03 Jun '25

03 Jun '25

It was unable to find lib/security/pam_slurm_adopt.so It was built as lib64/security, not lib/security. ./debian/slurm-smd-libpam-slurm-adopt.install needs to be lib64/security/pam_slurm_adopt.so More likely, it needs to be built dynamically, so it will work everywhere.

Slurm accounts managed via ansible
by Ratnasamy, Fritz 28 May '25

28 May '25

Hi, I was wondering whether there might be built in support for managing slurm accounts,users,associations in ansible. it would be nice to be able to organize accounts in a yaml style file and modify accounts settings via gitlab CI/CD. For example, in a format as such: accounts: - name: "Boss1" parent: "root" description: "Big Boos" fairshare: 20 - name: "UnderBoss1" parent: "root" description: "working for Boss1" fairshare: 1 users: -username: "user1" … [View More]

Crash in "slurmd -C" when latest NVIDIA drivers are used
by Taras Shapovalov 22 May '25

22 May '25

Hello, Does someone have idea why "slurmd -C" crashes when it unloads gpu_nrt.so with latest NVIDIA drivers (570 and 575)? We checked, there is no crash in cuda at the moment and gpu_nvml.so works fine, all nvml calls finish successfully, dlclose on gpu_nvml.so works fine. The crash does not depend whether real GPUs present or not. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Ubuntu 24.04 2. wget https://download.schedmd.com/slurm/slurm-24.11.4.tar.bz2<https://download.schedmd.com/slurm/slurm-24.… [View More]

Hi, I am trying to install the new version of slurm. Do you know if there is a way to find out what support is compiled into the executables? For example, apache has httpd -L which shows all the loaded modules. See below result: [image: image.png] *Fritz Ratnasamy*Data Scientist Information Technology
