Hi. I built a SLURM cluster and am able to successfully run jobs as root. However, when I try to submit jobs as a regular user, I hit permission problems. username@console:[~] > srun -N1 /bin/hostname slurmstepd: error: couldn't chdir to `/usr/home/username': Permission denied: going to /tmp insteadfancy.host.name
I tried to google around, but could not get a clear view of how user permissions are passed around with SLURM.Note: 1. We run FreeIPA and all nodes (slurm controller, login node and compute nodes) are viewing the same user accounts via LDAP.2. Home directories are mounted over NFS. They are accessible on all nodes just the same. Appreciate any help for me to understand what is going on. When a regular user submits a job to the queue, does it run on the compute node with the same user credentials? Are there any relevant parts of this configuration in slurm.conf? I already read about SlurmUser and SlurmdUser which are not relevant as they point to what the daemons are to be run as.. Thanks, Aravindh -- Aravindh Sampathkumar aravi...@fastmail.com
