Hi I couldn't find an announcement anywhere, but filetxt looks to have been removed in version 20.11 (see here <https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm/blob/906f43c90a0b1506f2814920c32669098da522ab/NEWS#L2440> and here <https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm/commit/aac9fa2926b5c0e530f1f45dece3daff5931c539>). slurmdbd seems to be the only option at this time. The "AccountingStorageLoc" only has meaning in the context of the filetxt plugin, hence the error. I think your options are to do without accounting (if possible in your environment) or set up SlurmDBD.
It's confusing as it looks like some Slurm docs still indicate this <https://slurm.schedmd.com/accounting.html#slurm-accounting-configuration-before-build:~:text=Storing%20the%20accounting%20information%20into%20text%20files%20is%20very%20simple.> as an option. - Michael On Tue, Jun 13, 2023 at 11:23 AM Joe Kline <gi...@purdue.edu> wrote: > I was configuring slurm for an ubuntu 22.04 lts host. > > It is version 21.08.5 ( from the ubuntu repo ). > > I added these lines to /etc/slurm.conf > > AccountingStorageType=accounting_storage/filetxt > AccountingStorageLoc=/var/log/slurm/accounting > AccountingStoreJobComment=YES > > When I restart the slurm services I get : > > fatal: The AccountingStorageLoc option has been removed.
