Hi, I have this idea of a “free” account/qos. This account is preemptable by all other qos’. This account does not have any fairshare. It’s almost complete. But this account still receives priority points from the factors like: job size, partition, … Etc.
Is it possible to have an account excluded from priority points given by factor weights? Apologies if this should be obvious, I haven’t figured it out yet from the man pages. This free account could be default for special accounts like affiliates with low priority. Or maybe folks want to preserve their fairshare points for debugging, short type jobs, or ones that checkpoint that can deal with being preempted. There is also no way to subtract priority points from qos’ with sacctmgr from what I can tell. It looks like in a situation like this, the qos should have the “NoReserve” flag set too, correct? Thanks! Chris
