We have two clusters running moab and slurm. Still using Moab 5.4
though.

What SelectType do you have configured in slurm.conf? One possible cause
would be if you are using select/linear, in that case what you see would
be the expected behavior. To allocate only part of a nodes resources to
a job you need to use select/cons_res.

(Note that changing SelectType will purge all jobs from the system when
you restart)
