[slurm-dev] slurm_receive_msg: Zero Bytes were transmitted or received

[SLIM H.A.]

I wish to use slurm on our cluster and it has recently been installed and 
configured with SelectType=select/linear and this is working. 
I want to modify the configuration to allow serial jobs sharing a node and 
modified the conf file like this:

# diff slurm.conf slurm.conf.20141022
65,66c65
< SelectType=select/cons_res
< SelectTypeParameters=CR_CPU
---
> SelectType=select/linear

The modified file slurm.conf(.select) is attached.

On submitting a job I now get this error message:

# sbatch -p thin -N 2 slurm_gcc.csh
sbatch: error: slurm_receive_msg: Zero Bytes were transmitted or received
sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: Zero Bytes were transmitted or 
received

Am I missing something in the configuration here?

Thanks

Henk
