hi; From the slurm.conf documentation web page:
Note: The filetxt plugin records only a limited subset of accounting information and will prevent some sacct options from proper operation.

Hi, I happen to run a small cluster that doesn't use a slurmdbd but the plain log in a text file, accounting_storage/filetxt in slurm.conf. It is running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and the slurm 15.08.7 provided with that. Can someone tell me if it is normal (or at least a known bug) that with this setup, sacct -X -N node04 always returns the full list of all jobs recorded in the accounting file? Likewise for filtering for start/endtime with -S/-E, no effect at all. It is also apparent that it really takes a long time for sacct to digest the text file, even if it is reduced to less than 50000 jobs and about 6M in size. To give a figure: 24 seconds user time, keeping one core of a Xeon E5-2609 v2 @ 2.5 GHz busy. Alrighty then, Thomas PS: Please no pointers about better running a proper database with slurmdbd … I know that that works;-)
