I would like all partitions to have exclusive node access except for a single "transfer" partition which we will allow job sharing of the single node. The partition flag for this appears to be OverSubscribe. But there are no choices for sharing a node, just sharing a core, cpu or socket. Looks like EXCLUSIVE or NO (the default) are for non-sharing, and FORCE or YES are the choices for sharing. However the man page suggests FORCE/YES should be used with preemption. (What does sharing nodes have to do with preemption?) Also says something funny about not using preemption: "... accounting can easily grow to values greater than the actual utilization. It may be common on such systems to get error messages in the slurmdbd log stating: We have more allocated time than is possible."
Thanks, Chris
