An explanation of the problem and fix will be in version 2.6.2. The

Hi!
A user reported a strange behaviour of squeue in our newly installed
2.6.1 version.
The following submit file:
-----8<-----
#!/bin/bash -l
#SBATCH -N 1
#SBATCH -n 12
#SBATCH --time=5-00:00:00
hostname
-----8<-----
Results in the following output from squeue if I use -j or -u:
-----8<-----
% squeue -u magnus
JOBID PARTITION NAME USER ST TIME NODES
NODELIST(REASON)
1190903 batch submit2 magnus PD 0:00 12
(Priority)
-----8<-----
-----8<-----
% squeue -j 1190903
JOBID PARTITION NAME USER ST TIME NODES
NODELIST(REASON)
1190903 batch submit2 magnus PD 0:00 12
(Priority)
-----8<-----
But if I use grep:
-----8<-----
% squeue | grep 1190903
1190903 batch submit2 magnus PD 0:00 1
(Priority)
-----8<-----
I get the expected behaviour.
I have tracked this down to a commit to "To minimize overhead"
https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm/commit/ac44db862c8d1f460e55ad09017d058942ff6499
on line 397/416 in src/squeue/opts.c. max_cpus is used in the
_get_node_cnt() to estimate the number of nodes required.
Reverting params.max_cpus code I get the expected behaviour.
Best regards,
Magnus
