I really don’t know where it’s getting that from. I tried a find /dev -ls and 
neither the string 819275 or 819 or 275 appear anywhere. Like I said, though, 
that number will change from invocation to invocation. I wonder if this is some 
unexpected systemd/cgroup interaction that hasn’t been noticed before? I don’t 
know how many people are using RHEL/CentOS 7 at this point /and/ bothering with 
cgroups (I’m surprised at user group meetings of one sort or another to hear 
how few people do this).

15.08.4 — I’ve considered trying 15.08.latest before I continue on with this, 
but I figured someone will tell me if this is some odd behavior that was dealt 
with already (excuse the laziness — stretched a little thin). NVIDIA driver is 
352.63, in case that makes any difference.

One thing I guess I have to consider is that this is a node that is also 
refusing to boot unless I remove “quiet” from the boot command line, but I 
guess I was thinking that that is probably related to something else odd about 
the boot process/Warewulf and not a problem with the system that would cause 
other screwy behavior. Unfortunately, I don’t have another system to try it out 
on at the moment, unfortunately (not one with real GPUs anyway).

Happened to notice some of this going on in dmesg too:
