Comment 1 Jason Booth 2022-02-21 11:04:06 MST 
Filetxt was lacking in many ways and also fell behind "accounting_storage/slurmdbd" with the information being stored as well as features.

accounting_storage/filetxt was deprecated and removed in 20.11.

>  -- accounting_storage/filetxt has been removed as an option.  Please consider
>    using accounting_storage/slurmdbd as an alternative
