rocks sync slurm deletes gres.conf file from all nodes

[Gianfranco Sciacca]

Hi,
with the roll 7.0.0.193 I'm trying to configure one node with 7 GPUs following the steps in the slurm-roll.pdf (December 1, 2018). Created the file gres.conf and can distribute it via 411. But this is then deleted from the nodes when I run "rocks sync slurm".

For the node I have defined the attrs:

$ rocks list host attr wn-1-1 | grep slurm
wn-1-1: slurm_feature                     7GPUs                     H     
wn-1-1: slurm_gres                        gpu:rtx2080ti:7           H     
wn-1-1: slurm_gres_old                    gpu                       H     
wn-1-1: slurm_gres_template               gres.conf                 H     
wn-1-1: slurm_gres_template_old           gres.conf                 H     
wn-1-1: slurm_membership                  wn%                       G     
wn-1-1: slurm_pam_enable                  true                      G     
wn-1-1: slurm_partitions                  |CLUSTER-GPU|             H     

and the node auto-created definition looks ok:

[root@ce01 ~]# grep wn-1-1 /etc/slurm/node.conf 
NodeName=wn-1-1 NodeAddr=10.1.1.251 CPUs=32 Weight=20511799 Feature=rack-1,32CPUs,7GPUs Gres=gpu:rtx2080ti:7

This is in Files.mk:

[root@ce01 ~]# grep gres /var/411/Files.mk 
FILES += /etc/slurm/gres.conf
#FILES += /etc/slurm/gres.conf.1
#FILES += /etc/slurm/gres.conf.2
#FILES += /etc/slurm/gres.conf.3
#FILES += /etc/slurm/gres.conf.4

So why is rocks sync slurm deleting gres.conf (but not deleting the templates gres.conf.x ) ?

Thanks,
Gianfranco
