[Mauiusers] Re: maui not schedulling jobs in avaliable resources

[Brian Christiansen]

Checkout the parameter RESERVATIONDEPTH. I believe it is already doing 
what you are wanting to do. By default maui only creates one priority 
reservation. This can be changed with the RESERVATIONDEPTH parameter.

ex. RESERVATIONDEPTH[0] 5
