I saw that. Does it also fix this problem? The problem reported here occurs not when gres.conf is absent, but when it doesn't define a gpu resource. The user apparently wants to mix nodes that have gpus with nodes that have nics but not gpus. I guess I should just try to reproduce it on 2.3.1 or later. Martin
