It looks like the default location of topology.conf in slurm_2.4-pre1 differs with what topology.conf(5) says.
Slurm looks for it in /etc/slurm/topology.conf -- however, the man page says /etc/topology.conf. Considering the contents of the file, I could easily see it being extremely useful outside of slurm. Personally, I'd vote for it to be located and searched for at /etc/topology.conf by default. Also, should the location of the file be a configuration option instead? It seems like it's set by: CPPFLAGS = -DTOPOLOGY_CONFIG_FILE at the moment. -Jon
