I’ve always had local storage mounted in the same place, in /tmp.  In LSF 
clusters, I just let LSF’s lim get on with autodetecting how big /tmp was and 
setting the tmp resource automatically.  I presume SLURM can do the same thing, 
but I’ve never checked.

Subject: [slurm-users] Configuration for nodes with different TmpFs locations 
and TmpDisk sizes
Hi all,

We have a number of machines in our compute cluster that have larger disks 
available for local data. I would like to add them to the same partition as the 
rest of the nodes but assign them a larger TmpDisk value which would allow 
users to request a larger tmp and land on those machines.

The main hurdle is that (for reasons beyond my control) the larger local disks 
are on a special mount point /largertmp whereas the rest of the compute cluster 
uses the vanilla /tmp. I can't see an obvious way to make this work as the 
TmpFs value appears to be global only and attempting to set TmpDisk to a value 
larger than TmpFs for those nodes will put the machine into an invalid state.

I couldn't see any similar support tickets or anything in the mail archive but 
I wouldn't have thought it would be that unusual to do this.

Thanks in advance!
Jake
