Afternoon

Is their any reason not to run /var/spool/slurmd as a memory resident file system?  ie. its contents won't survive a reboot?
Comment 1 Moe Jette 2014-06-23 02:35:58 MDT 
That directory is used by the slurmd daemon to store job state information that it can recover when the daemon restarts. It can be purged on a reboot since the running jobs will not survive so their state information is not useful.
