Patch #29: Provides an /etc/sysconfig/slurm for Cray systems.
We have installed the same file this morning on all our systems (including a non-Cray cluster which also is SuSe based). I have verified that the limits get picked up by looking at /proc/$(pidof slurmd)/limits. select/cray: override ulimits on SuSe based system This provides a sample /etc/sysconfig/slurm file to override ulimits on Suse systems such as Cray. Since slurm respects limits configured by the system administrator, and since Cray/SuSe systems (in contrast to Debian-based systems) do not automatically exempt processes owned by the super-user from pam_limits configured in /etc/security/limits.conf, it can (and did) happen on Cray systems that such limits cause premature and counter-intuitive interaction with slurmd frontend nodes. The provided file overrides limits, using sensible defaults which have been inspired by the defaults set for processes owned by user root
