Have you looked at the limits you can set at the QOS or Account level in slurmdbd? There seems to be better granularity at those levels from what I've seen.

Looking at the slurm.conf page for partition definitions I don’t see a MaxJobs option. Is there a way to limit the number of jobs in a partition? Thanks, Jeff
