Hi Rob,

Thank you for helping me with this!

I've rebuilt our environment in slurm 22.05.9 on a VM and verified that slurm would prohibit a job run on a unpermitted partition

JOBID PARTITION NAME USER ST TIME NODES NODELIST(REASON) 1 test test vagrant PD 0:00 1 (Job's account not known, so it can't use this partition (test allows lap_rc))

On version 23, the job goes straight into running state.

I would appreciate it if anyone has any ideas on what could have changed in version 23.

Thanks, Marko

Marko,

We are running 23.02.6 and have a partition with a specific account set in AllowAccounts. We test that only that account can use that partition, and it works. I'll note that you'll need to set EnforcePartLimits=ALL in slurm.conf for it to work, and if you use the job_submit filter, make sure you don't make changes there that change the account (we do that, that's why I mention it).

I've now tested against 23.02.7, and it also works there.

Hi All,

At one point, when we were running slurm 22, we set up a few new partitions with `AllowAccounts` setting enabled. We limit access to these partitions only to a few accounts. We manually create these accounts and users using the `sacctmgr` command. At that time, everything was working. Only users in these accounts were able to run jobs in that partition. Few months ago we upgraded slurm to 23.02.7 but just a couple of days ago we noticed that anyone could submit jobs to these partitions. In addition to that, you can provide any value to the `--account` directive and slurm will accept and record it in the job accounting database. In our initial testing, you could only provide `--account` value that has been previously created.

I'm still looking into this but I wanted to check if there was any change in version 23 that could have impacted this? I don't remember seeing anything in release notes.

Thanks, Marko

AllowGroups is ok.

Hello Marco, all,

As I mention in another mail : in version 23-* the allowgroups is not OK : there is a memory leak (Has anybody observed it ? could you check ?).

Thanks Christine

HI,

Sorry for the late reply. I have not yet fixed this issue. I did even update a couple of minor versions and the problem was not resolved. So just replacing AllowAccounts with AllowGroups worked for you ?

Thanks, Marko

Hi Christine,

we don't use AllowGroups but have AllowAccounts, which is not working anymore as expected in version 23.02.x. We tried also with EnforcePartLimits.

I can see that our slurmctld consumes each day approx. 1g more memory. Our current version is 23.02.7 which comes from ATOS/EVIDEN for our cluster.

Best Regards, Carsten
