I see this
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes
71496372224
which is about 68GB.
As I said, running from terminal has no problem.
Is is just fine to set a larger value (130GB) as below?
echo 139586437120 > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes
of course not. "usage_in_bytes" is an output parameter.
your issue is that Slurm is setting at least some of the input
controls such as memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes. if you want to fight
with Slurm, you could set the memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes value on
a "live" cgroup. (note also that above you're referring to the base
cgroup, not the cgroup for your job.) of course, manually fighting
Slurm is a Fairly Bad Idea.
you should read the documentation on cgroups to understand how these work.
memsw basically corresponds to VSZ in ps, whereas mem corresponds with RSS.
