slurmctld (20.02.6-1) unstable; urgency=medium The configuration directory has been moved from /etc/slurm-llnl to /etc/slurm. The upgrade process will copy the existing configuration files. The directory is managed by the slurm-wlm-basic-plugin package that will handle the transition for any kind of host (client hosts, slurmctld, slurmd and slurmdbd server hosts). The new recommend locations for the Slurm state files are under /var/lib/slurm and for the log files are under /var/log/slurm, but you can safely keep using the old locations (/var/lib/slurm-llnl and /var/log/slurm-llnl). The packages scripts will still handle log rotation and directory removal on purging. -- Gennaro Oliva Thu, 05 Nov 2020 02:05:15 +0100 slurmctld (18.08.5.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium If you are upgrading Slurm from stretch or an older version of Debian, please make sure there is no job running in your cluster: upgrading directly from a version earlier than 17.02 will result in loss of state information. Even if you plan to quick upgrade from 14.03 -> 15.08 -> 16.05 -> 17.02, you will need to wait until after those jobs are gone before you upgrade to 18.08. The pid file for the slurmctld and slurmd daemons has been moved to /run, the installation process will update /etc/slurm-llnl/slurm.conf for you if it points to the original location under /var/run/slurm-llnl The default value are now: SlurmctldPidFile=/run/slurmctld.pid SlurmdPidFile=/run/slurmd.pid These parameters can be omitted. Please be sure to update the value of these parameters on your cluster configuration management system or if you set them in a file using the Include directive. -- Gennaro Oliva Sat, 16 Feb 2019 14:10:46 +0100
