Hi Mark,
I'm glad you found the solution! I recommend to use Cgroups
(proctrack/cgroup), see the manual pages cgroup.conf and slurm.conf and
https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/Niflheim_system/Slurm_configuration/#cgroup-configuration

Thanks for replying. I installed a fresh version of RockyLinux 9.1. I mentioned
Fedora 9 and CentOS 9 (Stream) simply because they tend to be compatible, and
something that works on them is likely to work on Rocky9.
I am building the RPMs from tarball, following instructions near identical to
those you link (the ones on the Slurm website). I originally followed them
exactly, which resulted in an install with the error I posted below. Searching
online for that error led me to the suggested fix of turning off the system
hardening and rebuilding/reinstalling, but this didn't solve the problem either.
I turned up debugging and went through my config line by line and found the
offending plugin is set at: JobAcctGatherType=proctrack/linuxproc
I've replaced this with: JobAcctGatherType=jobacct_gather/linux and now the
system starts. I suppose the old plugin is no longer/used supported and I
missed it in the docs somewhere.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Did you upgrade to the RockyLinux 9.1 which has just come out? Why do you talk
about Fedora 9 (now we have Fedora 37) and CentOS 9 (non-existent)?
Have you tried building Slurm RPM packages from the tar-ball? Check out
https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/Niflheim_system/Slurm_installation/#build-slurm-rpms
After installing prerequisites, the command is simply:
$ rpmbuild -ta slurm-$VER.tar.bz2 --with mysql
If this fails, someone would have to submit a bug report against EL9 to SchedMD.
Personal opinion: I would not recommend Slurm packages from EPEL.

I’ve tried editing the slurm.spec file as specified here:
https://bugs.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8438
<https://bugs.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8438> but that hasn’t solved
the problem. I added the lines below at the start of the file, and
when that didn’t work I added them in the %build section as well, but
neither have fixed the problem.
# Disable hardened builds. -z,now or -z,relro breaks the plugin stack
%undefine _hardened_build
%global _hardened_cflags "-Wl,-z,lazy"
%global _hardened_ldflags "-Wl,-z,lazy"
Does anyone here have a working recipe for building Slurm v22 on a
Fedora 9 system (CentOS9, Rocky9)? Is there an expected delivery date
for official Slurm packages in EPEL 9 yet?
