[Bug 329226] [NEW] slurm package create subdirectory in /var/run to store pids, which is lost on reboot

[Christian Hudon]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: slurm-llnl

The .deb for slurm contains a /var/run/slurm-llnl directory, which is
used to store the pids in for the slurmd and slurmctld daemons. However,
this directory is lost on reboot (/var/run is a tmpfs), so after the
first reboot, slurm fails to start.

My suggestion is simply to change the default configuration of slurm to
create the pids directly in /var/run. There's no need for a slurm-llnl
subdirectory to store the pids, since slurmd and slurmctld both are
running as root when they create their pid file.

** Affects: slurm-llnl (Ubuntu)
