[Mauiusers] problem with preemtor/preemptee setup

[Nicolas Niclausse]

Hello,

I'm currently testing a preemtor/preemptee setup with maui 3.2.6p19 and
torque 2.1.8.

My test env. is made of 2 nodes, each with 4 cpus

If I start a 4-cpus job in the low priority queue and then a 8 cpu job
(nodes=2:ppn=4), the first is suspended, and the high priority job is
started. good.

Now if instead of a 4 cpu job I try to run a one cpu job in the low
priority queue, it is never suspended.

Looking at the logs, it seems that maui doesn't count the 3 free cpus in
the total number of procs available after the preemptible jobs are suspended:

7 free cpus and one from the preemptible job =8, fine, but:

07/09 13:46:47 MJobSelectPJobList(60,4,1,FJobList,PJList,PTCList,PNCList,PTL)

1 of 1)
07/09 13:46:47 INFO:     cannot locate 8 tasks for job '60' in partition
DEFAULT

it compares one cpu given by preemption to 4 (required by the job), but it
should compare it to 4-3 free cpu = 1 , no ?
