Thanks, John
but this is what I have in the partition file:
nodes=gpu-1-[4-17],gpu-2-[4,6-16],gpu-3-9
slurm gets confused when it can't look up gpu-2-4 and then splits the
gpu-2-[4,6-16] into gpu-[2]-[4] (failed lookup) and 6-16] (which is
actually no node name at all but a wrong parsing after the failure)
Thanks
Eva
