Thanks for the fast reply. Yes, I have
AccountingStorageType=accounting_storage/slurmdbd
configured and the AccountingStorageHost is set
to the short hostname. The slurmdbd is not running since it already
receives the error
[2013-06-18T16:37:14-07:00] fatal: The database must be up when starting
the MYSQL plugin.
I swapped to AccountingStorageType=accounting_storage/filetxt
and don't have any problems with that.
Thanks
Eva
