Slurm version 2.4.4 is now available from
http://www.schedmd.com/#repos
Changes since version 2.4.3 are almost all bug fixes for IBM
Bluegene/Q systems as listed below.
We plan to tag version 2.5.0-rc1 (release candidate 1) next week, just
before the SC12 conference. For those of you attending SC12, there is
a Slurm BOF on Thursday at 12:15 and will be a Slurm booth on the
exhibit floor.
* Changes in SLURM 2.4.4
========================
-- BGQ - minor fix to make build work in emulated mode.
-- BGQ - Fix if large block goes into error and the next highest
priority jobs
are planning on using the block. Previously it would fail those jobs
erroneously.
-- BGQ - Fix issue when a cnode going to an error (not SoftwareError) state
with a job running or trying to run on it.
-- Execute slurm_spank_job_epilog when there is no system Epilog configured.
-- Fix for srun --test-only to work correctly with timelimits
-- BGQ - If a job goes away while still trying to free it up in the
database, and the job is running on a small block make sure we free up
the correct node count.
-- BGQ - Logic added to make sure a job has finished on a block before it is
purged from the system if its front-end node goes down.
-- Modify strigger so that a filter option of "--user=0" is supported.
-- Correct --mem-per-cpu logic for core or socket allocations with multiple
threads per core.
-- Fix for older < glibc 2.4 systems to use euidaccess() instead of
eaccess().
-- BLUEGENE - Do not alter a pending job's node count when changing it's
partition.
-- BGQ - Add functionality to make it so we track the actions on a block.
This is needed for when a free request is added to a block but there are
jobs finishing up so we don't start new jobs on the block since they will
fail on start.
-- BGQ - Fixed InactiveLimit to work correctly to avoid scenarios where a
user's pending allocation was started with srun and then for some reason
the slurmctld was brought down and while it was down the srun was removed.
-- Fixed InactiveLimit math to work correctly
-- BGQ - Add logic to make it so blocks can't use a midplane with a nodeboard
in error for passthrough.
-- BGQ - Make it so if a nodeboard goes in error any block using
that midplane
for passthrough gets removed on a dynamic system.
-- BGQ - Fix for printing realtime server debug correctly.
-- BGQ - Cleaner handling of cnode failures when reported through the runjob
interface instead of through the normal method.
-- smap - spread node information across multiple lines for larger systems.
-- Cray - Defer salloc until after PrologSlurmctld completes.
-- Correction to slurmdbd communications failure handling logic, incorrect
error codes returned in some cases.
