[slurm-users] How to fix “slurmd.service: Can't open PID file” error

[mercan]

Hi;

The owner of the /var/run/slurm-llnl directory and the slurmctld.pid and 
slurmd.pid files should be "slurm" user. Your files owner are root and 
noki.

chown -R slurm:slurm /var/spool/slurm-llnl


Regards;

Ahmet M.
