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

[mercan]

Hi;

I did not notice

SlurmUser=noki

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

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

Regards;

Ahmet M.
