[slurm-users] Need help with controller issues

[Dean Schulze]

There's a problem with accounting_storage/mysql plugin:

$ sudo  slurmdbd -D -vvvv
slurmdbd: debug:  Log file re-opened
slurmdbd: pidfile not locked, assuming no running daemon
slurmdbd: debug3: Trying to load plugin /usr/lib/slurm/auth_munge.so
slurmdbd: debug:  Munge authentication plugin loaded
slurmdbd: debug3: Success.
slurmdbd: debug3: Trying to load plugin
/usr/lib/slurm/accounting_storage_mysql.so
slurmdbd: error: Couldn't find the specified plugin name for
accounting_storage/mysql looking at all files
slurmdbd: error: cannot find accounting_storage plugin for
accounting_storage/mysql
slurmdbd: error: cannot create accounting_storage context for
accounting_storage/mysql
slurmdbd: fatal: Unable to initialize accounting_storage/mysql accounting
storage plugin


This bug report from a couple of years ago indicates a source code issue:

https://bugs.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3278

This must have been fixed by now, though.

I built using slurm-19.05.2.  Does anyone know if this has been fixed in
19.05.4?
