Hi Erica,

I think you misunderstood the concept of "service user" in Linux.

SlurmUser in the slurm.conf doesn't mean which user should be able to use SLURM (submit jobs, etc.) but which system user will run the slurm control daemon and slurm database daemon. This user is usually called "slurm".

Here's the line of my /etc/passwd for this user:

slurm:x:222:222:SLURM Manager:/:/bin/false


Regards,

    Uwe

Kiran,

that's exactly what I've done, but I still get the same error messages.

    You should be ideally specifying a directory under /var/spool
    e.g /var/spool/slurm and then change its permissions so that the
    SlurmUser can write to it.

        Hi Erica

        What's the value of SlurmUser in the slurm.conf?

        You'll need to make sure the MailProg exists and is executable
        by the SlurmUser too

            Hi all,

            I've been trying to run the slurm controller daemon, but I
        get an
            error I have no idea how to solve:

            > sudo slurmctld -Dcvvvv
            slurmctld: pidfile not locked, assuming no running daemon
            slurmctld: error: Configured MailProg is invalid
            slurmctld: error: Job accounting information gathered, but
        not stored
            slurmctld: fatal: Incorrect permissions on state save loc:
        /var/spool


            Munge daemon is running and /var/spool permissions are:

            > ls -ld /var/spool
            drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Ago  5 13:31 /var/spool

            Does anyone knows how should /var/spool permissions be set?

            Thanks in advance.
