We have run into what looks like a maui bug: We have used the following tagging for our two types of compute nodes: core4: node with a total of 4 CPU cores core8: node with a total of 8 CPU cores
If a user submits a job like: qsub -l nodes=64:core4+16:core8 -l walltime=4:00:00 jobscript and later finds that many core8 nodes have become available, they may want to alter the node requirements by doing something like: qalter -l nodes=32:core4+32:core8 to get the job to start sooner. (Will give the user the same amount of CPU cores as the original job submission.) Maui does not seem to update the requirements properly and the job just gets stuck. A restart of maui will help maui get the information correctly, but this is not a good work-around.
