I have tried it both ways with the same result. The assigned CPUs
will be both in and out of the range given to CpuSpecList
I tried setting using commas instead of ranges so used
CpuSpecList=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13
But still does not work
$ srun -p basic -N 1 --ntasks-per-node=1 --mem=25G \
--time=10:00:00 --cpus-per-task=8 --pty /bin/bash
$ grep -i ^cpu /proc/self/status
Cpus_allowed: 00000780,00000780
Cpus_allowed_list: 7-10,39-42

The slurm.conf also has:
ProctrackType=proctrack/cgroup
TaskPlugin=task/affinity,task/cgroup
TaskPluginParam=Cores,*SlurmdOf**fSpec*,Verbose
Doesn't setting SlurmdOffSpec tell Slurmd that is should NOT use the CPUs
in the spec list? (

In this case, I believe it uses what is left, which is the 0-13. We are
just starting to work on this ourselves, and were looking at this setting.
Best,
