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
have the option to use jobacct_gather/linux instead. Per the devs at SLUG19,
they say the linux version has less overhead than the cgroup variant. I made a
switch in production and haven't really seen any differences except for seeing
extra info on the extern step which is a bonus I guess.
It would be nice to have some more clarification from other sites, or devs on
this.
Best,
Chris
