The maui.cfg content which you have posted so far always includes BACKFILLPOLICY NONE which I believe creates the behaviour that you describe. If you set it f.e. to BACKFILLPOLICY BESTFIT you should achieve the desired result. Have you used this setting before and had problems ? (to bring the topic back to a Maui related one ;-)) > Did I explain myself clear now? Do you understand now why I'm saying > that backfill is not working? Yes, it's clear to me now. > Ok, so maybe mine needs more components, but managing a cluster you > probaly have something like CFE, Puppet,rocks,a complet kickstart file > whatever that make things easy/automatic... The "best" solution is the one that you understand best and are able to debug if problems appear. So if you're comfortable doing it the way you have described it, then don't wait for our approval :-) Good luck!
