Hi there,
I am sorry if my words were too harsh, it was not my intention, thus my apologies.
And the scontrol example, as well as the node DRAIN/DOWN Slurm states (which is the reason I wrote them in uppercase), was not strictly for you (I know you are a cluster/Slurm power user), but for other forum users.
This was a way to be more open about the cluster situation and management, especially for those things that are not (yet?) in the documentation, as it happened in the past for the ${HOME} and ${SCRATCH} permissions (cf. Some directory permission seem to change on their own - #3 by Volodymyr.Savchenko ).
Fully agree, and FWIW I have not considered your question out of scope.
Thx, bye,
Luca
