Hi all, According to the relevant manpage <https://slurm.schedmd.com/archive/slurm-20.02.5/slurm.conf.html> it's possible to define an empty partition using "Nodes= ".
However this doesn't seem to work (slurm 20.2.05): [centos@testohpc-login-0 ~]$ grep -n Partition /etc/slurm/slurm.conf 72:PriorityWeightPartition=1000 105:PartitionName=compute Default=YES MaxTime=86400 State=UP Nodes= (note there is a space after that final "=" but I've tried both with and without) [centos@testohpc-login-0 ~]$ sinfo sinfo: error: Parse error in file /etc/slurm/slurm.conf line 105: " Nodes= " sinfo: fatal: Unable to process configuration file Is this a bug, or am I doing it wrong? thanks for any suggestions Steve http://stackhpc.com/ Please note I work Tuesday to Friday.
