Bug #9924

Updated by Peter Amstutz over 7 years ago

If slurm thinks that a node has failed, it may revoke crunch-job's allocation.    When this happens, the check_squeue() feature of crunch-job may detect it as a "tempfail" but it is impossible for crunch-job to recover:

 Detect the error "Invalid job id specified" and exit EX_RETRY_UNLOCKED so that When this happens, crunch-dispatch will should restart the job with a new allocation.
