[Mauiusers] ppn=2 specification ignored

[Georg Hager]

Hi all,

Maui 3.2.6p9 and OpenPBS.

When a job specifies -l nodes=X:ppn=2, it sometimes happens that
nodes on our dual-Xeon cluster are not scheduled as a whole,
but that MAUI uses single CPUs (half nodes), as if the user had
used ppn=1. This is a rare case, but it happens from time to time.
Although it did not quite seem applicable here, I have set
JOBNODEMATCHPOLICY EXACTNODE
but that did not improve the situation.

How can I instruct MAUI to obey the ppn= specification?

Thanks in advance,
Georg.
