We may have just answered our own question. Backfill policy was definitely causing the issue, we had it set to NONE. The reason we had it set to NONE was because of the order backfilled jobs were being picked up after they had been suspended then resumed. Will the BESTFIT policy attempt to start jobs from top-to-bottom of the queue? For instance if a Suspended job becomes eligible again, should it have priority?

The gaussian queue with more priority is preventing the overflow queue from running (jobs stay in Q status), although the resources that gaussian is requesting are available. The primary queue gaussian is asking for a particular resource that the overflow queue is not asking for. It's still preventing overflow from submitting jobs. I can manually qrun one of the queued jobs, and they submit just fine. Overflow in this case is a Preemptee, but gaussian is not a preemptor. I dont feel like preemption is causing this. Thanks for the help!
