Dear Slurm Users,
recently, I have started a new instance of my cluster with Slurm 22.05.2
(built from source). Evertyhing seems to be configured properly and
working fine except "sbatch". The error is quite self-explanatory and
I thought it would be quite easy to fix directory permissions.
slurmstepd: error: execve():
/opt/slurm_state_dir/slurmd_spool/job00136/slurm_script: Permission denied
I read here
(https://slurm.schedmd.com/slurm.conf.html#OPT_SlurmdSpoolDir_1) that
the directory should
be writable by root. I did that, but it did not help. I tried
several other combinations of permissions, no improvement.
Currently:
# ls -l /opt/
drwxrwx--- 3 slurm root 26 Aug 11 19:49 slurm_state_dir
# tree -pug /opt/slurm_state_dir
/opt/slurm_state_dir
└── [drwxrwx--- root slurm ] slurmd_spool
├── [-rw------- root root ] cred_state
├── [-rw------- root root ] cred_state.old
└── [-rw-r--r-- root root ] hwloc_topo_whole.xml
Additionaly, when I change the mode of the slurmd_spool directory,
for example to 770, restarting the slurmd service changes them
back to 755 irrespectively of user/group.
Could somoeone tell what the correct settings should be?
I did not have such problems in using 19.05.
Kind Regards
