[Mauiusers] Resources problem : cannot select job 62 for partition DEFAULT (job hold active)

[Daniel Boone]

Hi

I'm having the following problem. When I submit a very
memory-intensive(most swap) job, the job doesn't want to start.
It gives the error: cannot select job 62 for partition DEFAULT (job hold
active)
But I don't understand what the error means.

I run torque 2.1.8 with maui maui-3.2.6p19

checkjob -v returns the following:
