-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks,
I don't know if people have noticed yet, but there are considerable changes on cgroups and its API being worked on. As Slurm is a major user of control groups I would urge the developers to get involved in the discussion to make sure what emerges does match its needs. The long term intention appears to be for a distro to have a single process that will be able to manage cgroups, and for Fedora derived distros (like RHEL) that will be systemd, for Upstart based distros and those that use LXC containers that will be something else (probably cgmanager). For Debian it'll depend on which way they jump on this. The result is that Slurm will need to deal with at least 3 APIs in future to manage control groups, rather than just 1. The three being: 1) Legacy filesystem method 2) systemd 3) cgmanager For an overview of the issue you can see this article: https://lwn.net/Articles/574317/ and an article about the cgmanager project, and the systemd developers unwillingness to cooperate on a single API, is here: https://lwn.net/Articles/575672/ All the best, Chris - -- Christopher Samuel Senior Systems Administrator VLSCI - Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative Email: [email protected] Phone: +61 (0)3 903 55545 http://www.vlsci.org.au/ http://twitter.com/vlsci -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlK3nUQACgkQO2KABBYQAh8TngCfY2qAM/aB8Z/wgEcShKAFpqyU pDsAn3FUDvBcbJv+aTJ/RcRxr7wwruR+ =+j5e -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
