It is not documented that the accounting system won't work until you
restart slurmdbd multiple times before it starts collecting accounting
records.
Also, none of the necessary restarts are needed on an upgrade -- only
when slurm is initialized for a new cluster.
Interesting! It would be good to file a bug report with SchedMD on this
problem. I guess one would need to carefully document the creation of a
new cluster and prove in what way accounting records are absent, and
what difference it makes when slurmdbd is restarted repeatedly. Are you
up for this task?
