Hello all.
I've read the manpage on slurm.conf, as well as the FAQ on this topic ( https://computing.llnl.gov/linux/slurm/faq.html#rlimit ) and I still have a few questions. For background, I'm running SLURM 2.2.1 on Debian Squeeze (6.0). 1. How are the initial limits on the compute node slurmd's established/set? The /etc/security/limits.d mechanism is PAM-based. How are the limits that apply to slurmd launched from the init script established in the first place? 2. I don't understand the documentation's mention of "setting ulimit" in the init script config file (/etc/sysconfig/slurm for RH). Where would the ulimit invocation need to occur, and how should this be done on non-Redhat distributions? 3. If using PAM, I'd prefer to fill in some sort of access control in the "<domain>" field, rather than "*" as indicated in the FAQ. What will the effective user be that PAM enforces the limits on, when UsePAM=1? Would it be root? The submitting user? SlurmUser? Thank you very much for insight on these.
