2.5 from 2.4 should work fine as a live update.

Hi, upon startup slurmctld changes its working directory to where the log file is.
If the log file is:
SlurmctldLogFile=/var/tmp/slurm/slurmctld.log
the working directory is /var/tmp/slurm. Assuming your slurmctld core dump for whatever reason the core file should be there. The directory should be writable by the SlurmUser since slurmctld changes it real user id to that user.

bah, seems I had forgotten to set the log file so as I said the log was in /var/log/messages. I've reconfigured slurm to now write it separately, but it does mean that if it did core dump, then not in /var/log. As it's configured now, then a new crash would leave the core.

Also, is the upgrade to latest 2.5.x a live upgrade? Or do I need to drain the cluster first?

Thanks,
