with slurm 2.6.0 I configured preemption: PreemptMode=SUSPEND,GANG PreemptType=preempt/partition_prio and 3 partitions with PartitionName=batch PreemptMode=ON Priority=1 PartitionName=active PreemptMode=OFF Priority=1000 PartitionName=gpu PreemptMode=ON Priority=100 Nevertheless when starting a job in partition "active" (which should preempt running jobs in partition "batch" and "gpu") the job is not excepted: $ srun --pty -I --mem=1000M --partition=active --gres=gpu:1 tcsh srun: Force Terminated job 152537 srun: error: Unable to allocate resources: Requested nodes are busy or waits forever to start instead of suspending a lower priority job. What did I miss in the configutration to enable preemption for partition active? Thanks for your help with preemption Eva
