Dear Slurm developers, I left the SLUG meeting with the strong impression in mind that generic burst buffers are a piece of cake and extremely useful for us since we run a shared file system based on SSDs.
We now are using the SchedMD example scripts in a test environment. But it is not really clear how a user should work with the burst buffer: I start an interactive job using the example srun --bb="capacity=1G access=striped type=scratch" a.out Bute then I see no used resources: scontrol.test show burst Name=generic DefaultPool=(null) Granularity=1 TotalSpace=1000G UsedSpace=0... How can I now use this scratch buffer associated with the job. Is there anybody around who can help us with the first steps, or tell us his/her configuration and a working example? The documentation on the web is a little sparse in this respect. Thank you, Ulf -- ___________________________________________________________________ Dr. Ulf Markwardt Technische Universität Dresden Center for Information Services and High Performance Computing (ZIH) 01062 Dresden, Germany Phone: (+49) 351/463-33640 WWW: http://www.tu-dresden.de/zih
