Hi, I'm trying to use BurstBuffer with the generic plugin according to the latest BurstBufferGuide[1]. But I have failed to do it. The generic plugin was probably loaded correctly. But, it seemed that burst_buffer.conf was not applied. Because script files specified to BurstBuffer operations (e.g. stage_in) had not been called.
My configuration steps were same as BurstBufferGuide. 1. Specify the generic plugin in slurm.conf. 2. Create a burst_buffer.conf in the same directory as slurm.conf. 3. Restart slurmctld and slurmd. 4. Specify #BB directive in the job script, and execute BurstBuffer operations. (e.g. stage_in) It seems that codes about the generic plugins were deleted by the following commit. https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm/commit/747a8c44e66b4628b52ad15cf4076989995b3357 This commit is contained in version 16.05 and higher. Can I use the generic plugin in the latest version of Slurm? If the generic plugins is still available, should I add other settings?
