Hi Chris,
Thanks for confirming that UnkillableStepTimeout can have larger values without issues. Do you have some suggestions for values that would safely cover network filesystem delays?
Best regards, Ole

Some time ago it was recommended that UnkillableStepTimeout values above 127 (or 256?) should not be used, see https://support.schedmd.com/ show_bug.cgi?id=11103. I don't know if this restriction is still valid with recent versions of Slurm?
As I read it that last comment includes a commit message for the fix to that problem, and we happily use a much longer timeout than that without apparent issue.
