SLURM Files

* Changes in SLURM 2.3.0.pre6
=============================
 -- NOTE: THERE HAS BEEN A NEW FIELD ADDED TO THE CONFIGURATION RESPONSE RPC
    AS SHOWN BY "SCONTROL SHOW CONFIG". THIS FUNCTION WILL ONLY WORK WHEN THE
    SERVER AND CLIENT ARE BOTH RUNNING SLURM VERSION 2.3.0.pre6
 -- Modify job expansion logic to support licenses, generic resources, and
    currently running job steps.
 -- Added an rpath if using the --with-munge option of configure.
 -- Add support for multiple sets of DEFAULT node, partition, and frontend
    specifications in slurm.conf so that default values can be changed mulitple
    times as the configuration file is read.
 -- BLUEGENE - Improved logic to place small blocks in free space before freeing
    larger blocks.
 -- Add optional argument to srun's --kill-on-bad-exit so that user can set
    its value to zero and override a SLURM configuration parameter of
    KillOnBadExit.
 -- Fix bug in GraceTime support for preempted jobs that prevented proper
    operation when more than one job was being preempted. Based on patch from
    Bill Brophy, Bull.
 -- Fix for running sview from a non-bluegene cluster to a bluegene cluster.
    Regression from pre5.
 -- If job's TMPDIR environment is not set or is not usable, reset to "/tmp".
    Patch from Andriy Grytsenko (Massive Solutions Limited).
 -- Remove logic for defunct RPC: DBD_GET_JOBS.
 -- Propagate DebugFlag changes by scontrol to the plugins.
 -- Improve accuracy of REQUEST_JOB_WILL_RUN start time with respect to higher
    priority pending jobs.
 -- Add -R/--reservation option to squeue command as a job filter.
 -- Add scancel support for --clusters option.
 -- Note that scontrol and sprio can only support a single cluster at one time.
 -- Add support to salloc for a new environment variable SALLOC_KILL_CMD.
 -- Add scontrol ability to increment or decrement a job or step time limit.
 -- Add support for SLURM_TIME_FORMAT environment variable to control time
    stamp output format. Work by Gerrit Renker, CSCS.
 -- Fix error handling in mvapich plugin that could cause srun to enter an
    infinite loop under rare circumstances.
 -- Add support for multiple task plugins. Patch from Andriy Grytsenko (Massive
    Solutions Limited).
 -- Addition of per-user node/cpu limits for QOS's. Patch from Aaron Knister,
    UMBC.
 -- Fix logic for multiple job resize operations.
 -- BLUEGENE - many fixes to make things work correctly on a L/P system.
 -- Fix bug in layout of job step with --nodelist option plus node count. Old
    code could allocate too few nodes.
