Hello Support, This is kuni of Cray Japan Inc. I have a question about the runnning job partition. The user:doan is submit the some job with changed the GroupID. Refer the below. The job is runnning on partition normal and wrf. The JID:106365 is running on the partition wrf. Also,The JID:108711 is running on the partition normal. JobID GID Group UID User Submit Start End Elapsed NCPUS NNode CPUTimeRAW State Partition ------- ---- ---------- ----- --------- ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ---------- ----- ----- -------------------- ---------- 99838 30121 RCM 30556 doan 2014-07-02T02:41:22 2014-07-04T01:29:09 2014-07-05T01:28:13 23:59:04 96 6 8289024 TIMEOUT normal 106365 30121 RCM 30556 doan 2014-07-04T22:33:47 2014-07-04T22:33:47 2014-07-05T20:27:20 21:53:33 60 3 4728780 COMPLETED wrf ***** 107350 30121 RCM 30556 doan 2014-07-05T12:15:44 2014-07-05T12:15:44 2014-07-06T10:48:53 22:33:09 128 8 10392192 COMPLETED normal 108711 30076 WRF 30556 doan wrf 2014-07-06T14:18:23 2014-07-06T14:18:29 Unknown 19:19:29 32 2 2226208 RUNNING normal ***** The user:doan are belong to two groups (The RCM and WRF) He chaged the GroupID with newgrp command when submit job. Here is a information for partition of normal and wrf.

Also When setting groupID:RCM, the job should be runnning in normal partition. If you need the more infomation (for examle, log etc..), let me know. Best Reagrds Kuni
Duplicate of bug 921. Anyone with access to any of the AllowGroups can access the partition. The current group ID is ignored by Slurm, by design. This is the same way linux access control to files works. In the example below, my gid is 1000 (jette), but I can still read a file with group adm access: jette@jette:~$ id uid=1000(jette) gid=1000(jette) groups=1000(jette),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),112(lpadmin),124(sambashare) jette@jette:~$ ls -ld /tmp/bug943 -r--r----- 1 root adm 5 Jul 7 08:16 /tmp/bug943 jette@jette:~$ cat /tmp/bug943 test *** This ticket has been marked as a duplicate of ticket 921 ***
