Hi Diego,
Are you sure that the Slurm software installed on all compute nodes was
actually built on a system which had the hwloc packages installed? They
should also be installed on the compute nodes. The prerequisite
packages are listed here:

They aren't using modules so it must be something system-wide :(
But not all jobs are impacted. And it seems it's a bit random (doesn't
happen always).
I'm out of ideas, currently :(

Some users are reporting this error:

HWLOC version 1.11.5
slurmstepd-str957-mtx-01: error: task[0] unable to set taskset '0x0'
I checked on that node and hwloc is newer:
diego.zuccato@str957-mtx-01:~$ hwloc-info --version
hwloc-info 2.4.1
How can Slurm detect such an old HWLOC version?
Maybe the user loads a software module which also loads an old hwloc
module? The user should do "module list" in the job to verify this.
