Adding forking child to sbatchd can prevent significant delays and cascading problems associated with slow cgroup writes.

Platform LSF's root sbatchd daemon on the execution host gets stuck while writing to one of the cgroup subsystem. This causes the host to show unreachable status, and no new jobs will be dispatched to this host. Jobs which were already running on ...

LSF: conflict between RESIZABLE_JOBS and chunking

in our cluster, we set the RESIZABLE_JOBS = Y to all jobs through application profile to enable jobs resizing when job efficiency is low. since that, we are unable to start jobs in chunk mode. we discover that chunk mode and resizable are not comp...
