[slurm-users] job not running because of "Resources", but resources are available

2021-03-19 Thread Bernstein, Noam CIV USN NRL (6393) Washington DC (USA)
Can anyone explain why job 1908239 is not running, or what else I can check? squeue says "Resources", and start time is always right now, no matter when I run "squeue --start", but the resources are available according to "sinfo ... state=idle". It's only a 1 minute job, so it's not because th

The method I use for jobs is to make /scratch a symlink to where ever it may be best suited. Then all users just use /scratch eg: /scratch -> /dev/shm for a ramdisk or /scrach->/mnt/ssd for local ssd, etc Brian Andrus On 3/19/2021 6:25 AM, Paul Edmon wrote: I was about to ask this as well as

We build with CSI hardened nodes and /tmp is marked to block execution. It causes occasional frustration but it would be important to be able to redirect to a file system that allowed execution. William On Fri, 19 Mar 2021, 13:28 Paul Edmon, wrote: > I was about to ask this as well as we use /s

That's excellent; I've been using the 'auto_tmpdir' plugin for this; having that functionality within SLURM will be good. Have a question though - we have a need to also create a per-job /scratch/ (on a shared fast file system) in much the same way. I don't see a way that the currentl tmpfs p
