A user has reported the following problem on 2.2.7. If gpu resources are enabled in slurm.conf (GresTypes=gpu) slurmd will not start on nodes that do not define a gpu resource in their local gres.conf file. A reported workaround is to define a bogus gpu resource in gres.conf, but hide it from users by not defining it in the node properties in slurm.conf. I have not tried to reproduce the problem on 2.3.5 or 2.4.0-rc1. Someone suggested that this problem has been fixed, but I didn't see any notice of that in the NEWS file.
Regards, Martin
