Hi Chris,
Our SchedulerParameters are... SchedulerParameters = bf_window=3600,bf_resolution=180,bf_max_job_user=4 I gather that the "bf_window" should be as high as the highest maximum time limit on the partitions (set at 2.5 days = 3600 minutes). Best regards, David ________________________________ From: slurm-users <[email protected]> on behalf of Chris Samuel <[email protected]> Sent: 20 November 2018 20:12:20 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [slurm-users] Excessive use of backfill on a cluster On Tuesday, 20 November 2018 11:42:49 PM AEDT Baker D.
