Disabling transparent hugepages warning

Is it required to disable transparent hugepages? If not, is there a way of configuring CryoSPARC to stop displaying warnings incessantly about it?

As of CryoSPARC version 4.6.2, if transparent hugepage/enabled is currently set to [always], changing the setting to [madvise] in is highly recommended. The warning about an active [always] setting can not be disabled.

[madvise] needs to be on worker nodes, not just the server host? I thought this was for mongodb performance only? Is cryosparc utilizing MADV_NOHUGEPAGE?

@DavidHoover yes it is needed on the worker nodes. By our observations, the main piece of software that this affects is actually Numpy, not MongoDB.
