[slurm-users] jobacct_gather/linux vs jobacct_gather/cgroup

[Marcus Wagner]

Aren't we here talking about the job accounting gather plugin?

I would say, you have to use cgroups, together with 
ProctrackType=proctrack/cgroup and TaskPlugin=task/cgroup if you want ot 
use the jobacct_gather/cgroup plugin, because elsewise SLURMdoes not 
pack the jobs into cgroups.
