[slurm-users] sacct does always print all jobs regardless filter parameters with accounting_storage/filetxt

[mercan]

hi;

 From the slurm.conf documentation web page:

  Note: The filetxt plugin records only a limited subset of accounting 
information and will prevent some sacct options from proper operation.
