I’ve always had local storage mounted in the same place, in /tmp. In LSF clusters, I just let LSF’s lim get on with autodetecting how big /tmp was and setting the tmp resource automatically. I presume SLURM can do the same thing, but I’ve never checked.

I would like to add them to the same partition as the rest of the nodes but assign them a larger TmpDisk value which would allow users to request a larger tmp and land on those machines. The main hurdle is that (for reasons beyond my control) the larger local disks are on a special mount point /largertmp whereas the rest of the compute cluster uses the vanilla /tmp. I can't see an obvious way to make this work as the TmpFs value appears to be global only and attempting to set TmpDisk to a value larger than TmpFs for those nodes will put the machine into an invalid state. I couldn't see any similar support tickets or anything in the mail archive but I wouldn't have thought it would be that unusual to do this. Thanks in advance!
