Package: slurmd Version: 16.05.9-1+deb9u1 By default, slurmd writes its PID file to /var/run/slurmd.pid, but the systemd service expects it to be at /var/run/slurm-llnl/slurmd.pid. As a result, "systemctl start slurmd" hangs unless slurm.conf defines SlurmdPidFile=/var/run/slurm-llnl/slurmd.pid. This could be synchronized by either patching the slurmd code or modifying the service file; I’m guessing the latter is more appropriate.
