You can just disable accounting altogether by commenting these lines:
#JobAcctGatherType=jobacct_gather/linux
#JobAcctGatherFrequency=30
#AccountingStorageType=accounting_storage/slurmdbd
#AccountingStorageHost=
#AccountingStorageLoc=
#AccountingStoragePass=
#AccountingStorageUser=
#AccountingStorageType=accounting_storage/filetxt
#AccountingStorageLoc=/var/spool/slurmd/slurmdb.txt
Hope this helps!
