Hi!

I'm in the process of migrating a torque/MAUI based cluster to 
slurm. On the torque system, users can specify '-l file=10gb'
to request 10gb of space on the local disk. The prolog creates the
corresponding directory for the user and torque sets a 'ulimit -f 
10485760'.

On my slurm test system I created a generic resource for the local
disk which works fine, but I can't establish a ulimit and slurm
doesn't set it. If I set ulimit -f in the prolog script, it's not
propagated to the jobs since it only affects subshells.

Does anyone have an idea how I could prevent users from using more
local diskspace than they asked for?

Thanks,

Jens.
