Are you looking at the log/what appears on the screen, and do you know for a 
fact that it is all the way up (should say "version <whatever> started” at the 
end)?

If that’s not it, you could have a permissions thing or something.

I do not expect you’d need to extend the timeout for a normal run. I suspect it 
is doing something.

manually running it through sudo slurmdbd -D /path/to/conf is very quick on my 
fresh install

trying to start the slurmdbd through systemctl take 3 minutes and then crashes 
and fail

Is there an alternative to systemctl to start the slurmdbd in the background ?

But most importantly I wanted to know why it takes so long through systemctl. 
Maybe I can increase the timeout limit ?

It may take longer to start than systemd allows for. How long does it take to 
start from the command line? It’s common to need to run it manually for 
upgrades to complete.

Ok I made some progress here.

I removed and purged slurmdbd mysql mariadb etc .. and started from scratch.
I added the recommended mysqld requirements

Started slurmdbd manually : sudo slurmdbd -D /path/to/conf and everything 
worked well

When I tried to start the service sudo systemctl start slurmdbd.service  it 
didnt work

sudo systemctl status  slurmdbd.service

Even though it is the same command ?!

Any idea ?
