At least in the example you are showing you have PreemptType commented
out, which means it will return the default. PreemptMode Cancel should
work, I don't see anything in the documentation that indicates it
wouldn't. So I suspect you have a typo somewhere in your conf.

Thanks Paul,
I don't understand what you mean by having a typo somewhere. I mean, that
configuration works just fine right now, whereas if I add the commented out
line any slurm command will just abort with the error "PreemptType and
PreemptMode values incompatible". So, assuming there is a typo,
My concern was you config inadvertantly having that line commented out
and then seeing problems. If it wasn't then no worries at this point.
We run using preempt/partition_prio on our cluster and have a mix of
partitions using PreemptMode=OFF and PreemptMode=REQUEUE. So I know that
combination
Thanks Paul for taking the time to further look into this. In fact you are
correct and adding a default mode (which is then overridden by each
partition setting) keeps slurm happy with that configuration. Moreover
(after restarting daemons, etc per the documentation) everything seems to
be working
