Hi Christopher,
I didn't want to ask, if I need the jobacct_gather/cgroup plugin, but I
wanted to say, that if one wants to use the jobacct_gather/cgroup plugin
(instead of the jobacct_gather/linux plugin) you need cgroups and
therefore the aforementioned ProctrackType and TaskPlugin settings.
Hi Marcus, yes we are talking about the jobacct_gather/cgroup plugin. Yes, if
you want cgroups you need:
ProctrackType=proctrack/cgroup
TaskPlugin=task/cgroup,task/affinity
But that doesn't mean you have to run the jobacct_gather/cgroup plugin, you

I would say, you have to use cgroups, together with
ProctrackType=proctrack/cgroup and TaskPlugin=task/cgroup if you want ot
use the jobacct_gather/cgroup plugin, because elsewise SLURMdoes not
pack the jobs into cgroups.

is empty when using the cgroup version.
Anyone know the differences?

Dear Chris,
I could not find this warning in the slurm.conf man page. So I googled
it and found a reference in the Slurm developers documentation:
https://slurm.schedmd.com/jobacct_gatherplugins.html
However, this web page says in its footer: "Last modified 27 March 2015".

Hi,
We've been using jobacct_gather/cgroup for quite some time and haven't had any
issues (I think). We do see some lengthy job cleanup times when there are lots
of small jobs completing at once, maybe that is due to the cgroup plugin. At
SLUG19 a slurm dev presented information that the jobacc
