Uh? It's not a problem if other users see there are jobs in the partition (IIUC it's what 'hidden' is for), even if they can't use it.

The problem is that if it's included in --partition it prevents jobs from being queued! Nothing in the documentation about --partition made me think that forbidding access to one partition would make a job unqueueable...

I would think that slurm would only filter it out, potentially, if the partition in question (b4) was marked as "hidden" and only accessible by the correct account.

    Hello all.

    We have one partition (b4) that's reserved for an account while the
    others are "free for all".
    The problem is that
    sbatch --partition=b1,b2,b3,b4,b5 test.sh
    fails with
    sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: Invalid account or
    account/partition combination specified
    while
    sbatch --partition=b1,b2,b3,b5 test.sh
    succeeds.

    Shouldn't Slurm (22.05.6) just "filter out" the inaccessible partition,
    considering only the others?
    Just like what it does if I'm requesting more cores than available on a
    node.

    I'd really like to avoid having to replicate scheduler logic in
    job_submit.lua... :)
