I'm afraid that looks to me like a slurm problem, and I don't really know anything about how to debug that. Maybe you can get some help from the slurm...

I would like to see the exact output from when it is failing outside of SLURM because it might not be the same. If it's a rare issue, maybe you...

There seem to be several of you interested in this issue but we're not going to be able to make any progress until one of you provides the [requested information](https://github.com/apptainer/apptainer/issues/2213#issuecomment-2110919731).
