[Mauiusers] utilized vs dedicated ressources

[Daniel Bourque]

Hi,  I've got maui configured to pack jobs on nodes, allocate by 
cpuload, until load > max. The lab boxes are just single cpu PCs ( I 
told torque that they have 20 )

...
NODEALLOCATIONPOLICY  CPULOAD
NODEAVAILABILITYPOLICY UTILIZED
NODECFG[DEFAULT] MAXJOB=50 MAXLOAD=2.0
...

It works greats, but I'm trying to understand the output of the 
checknode command ( see below ) , especially the utilized vs dedicated 
lines.

Also why do I get an alert about "node busy while load is low", the 
maxload is 2.0 so why does checknode thinks this is a problem ?

Thanks
