Thank you for your detailed response. I think my main issue is that I’m very new to Slurm, and clusters in general. I plan on setting up a global file system across my desktops, and was wondering what software you would recommend. I saw that the Slurm documentation mentions Lustre and NFS but was just curious because I have no experience with either.
