Hi, I'm seeing an strange issue with jobs requesting a specific reservation not running even when the reserved nodes are idle. I have a 6 node reservation dedicated to a single user. There are other nodes in the partition and in use, but the reserved nodes are idle. The user submits a few jobs using the correct reservation. Those jobs sit in the queue with reason "Resources". If I manually raise the priority on those jobs, the jobs start, so it seems like higher priority jobs in the partition must be affecting the scheduling in some way.
This is on slurm 2.6.5. We've had this reservation in place for some time and I don't remember any issues like this before, so I don't know if this is newly introduced bug or just an odd combination.
