[slurm-users] slurm-config on NFS-volume

[Werf, C.G. van der (Carel)]

Hi,

Among other clusters, I have a simple cluster with 2 nodes, running slurm.

1 node runs : mysqld, slurmdbd, slurmctld and slurmd.
The other node, only runs slurmd.
Slurm config is in node1: /etc/slurm. A copy of the config is in node2:/etc/slurm.
This slurm configuration runs ok.
But, as I am normally used to configure on a shared location, where there is only 1 copy of the config, I tried to change the current setup by moving the slurm-config to a shared (NFS) disk.

So on both nodes : /etc/slurm -> nfs-server:/shared/etc/slurm 

But, I have tried several ways... The slurmctld and slurmd daemons will not start when I refer to this "nfs-shared" location.

Any ideas what is missing here ? 
Authorizations seem ok.
