Re: [slurm-users] Excessive use of backfill on a cluster

[Baker D . J .]

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
