[slurm-users] job_container/tmpfs, TmpFS and TmpDisk usage

[Paul Musset via slurm-users]

Hello,

I have multiple questions about the usage of job_container/tmpfs, and 
the TmpFS and TmpDisk variables


1) If my job_container.conf files contains:
```
BasePath=/mnt/slurm_tmp Shared=true
```
is it important what I set TmpFS to in slurm.conf ? Should I set it to 
'/mnt/slurm_tmp' or '/tmp' ?


2) What size should I put in TmpDisk ? the size advertised by df ?

3) Finally, is there any recommended file system for the partition used 
as the job_container/tmpfs BasePath ?


Best regards,

[slurm-users] Re: Slurm upgrade using Debian packages

[Paul Musset via slurm-users]

Hi,

If they are on two different machines, doing as described on the slurm 
documentation is not a problem. I just updated an ubuntu installation a 
few days ago following the doc and they can both can run without the 
other running


If they are on the same machine, my guess would be that you have to 
first stop slurmdb then slurmctld, update them both, first start slurmdb 
and them slurmctld. Just be sure to disable them both in systemd, to 
avoid that they restart in the wrong order. (it happened to me with 
apt). I am not experienced on one machine configs, so someone else might 
be able to confirm or correct me.


Hope that helps

Paul

Hi,

I'm building Slurm Debian packages from SchedMD sources using this 
tutorial https://www.schedmd.com/slurm/installation-tutorial/.
Now I tried upgrading (minor release upgrade within 24.05) using these 
packages. https://slurm.schedmd.com/upgrades.html tells me to upgrade 
(a) slurmdbd (b) slurmctld (c) slurmd separately in this order, stopping 
each service for the upgrade. How can I follow this when the Debian 
packages have a dependency between slurmdbd + slurmctld that upgrades 
both packages at the same time?


thx
Matthias
