Package: slurm-llnl
Version: 16.05.9-1
Severity: normal
[remark: this might be a problem of systemd, I'm not sure whether this
is an issue of slurm or of systemd.]
When upgrading from debian 9.10 to 9.11 [2], a configuration entry in
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/slurmd.service
got lost.
In order to address an issue ("Cannot allocate memory" when running mpi
jobs under slurm, it is described in [1]) we had to add in
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/slurmd.service
this entry
[Service]
...
LimitMEMLOCK=1000000000000
After upgrading to debian 9.11 [2] this entry configuration disappeared.
It took some time to identify the issue. The fix/workaround is to
manually add the entry in the configuration file again, and run
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart slurmd
I'd have expected that the configuration is maintained when doing
apt update && apt upgrade
Below is the system information from a machine that is not upgraded yet,
and it happens also on machines with Debian 9.10.
Thanks for considering.
