Jeff,
Create a qos with maxjobs defined.

If you haven't used slurm qos before, you may want to check out the other limits
possible, they are more flexible than maxjobs.
Add the qos to the partition (qos=).

I need to set up a partition that limits the number of jobs allowed to run at

see a MaxJobs option.
Is there a way to limit the number of jobs in a partition?
Thanks, Jeff
