[torqueusers] Strangely node states after restarting pbs_server

[Thomas Dargel]

Dear torque-community,

after a reboot of the server-node of a cluster the states of the nodes 
as shown with 'pbsnodes -a' are a little bit strange:

node01
     state = free
     np = 4
     properties = par
     ntype = cluster
     jobs = 0/10642.XXXX, 1/10642.XXXX, 2/10642.XXXX, 3/10642.XXXX
     status = ...



Prior the reboot, 'pbsnodes -a node01' gave something like

node01
     state = job-exclusive
     np = 4
     properties = par
     ntype = cluster
     jobs = 0/10642.XXXX, 1/10642.XXXX, 2/10642.XXXX, 3/10642.XXXX
     status = ...



When a new job is started at this node, everything looks fine again:

node01
     state = job-exclusive
     np = 4
     properties = par
     ntype = cluster
     jobs = 0/10887.XXXX, 1/10887.XXXX, 2/10887.XXXX, 3/10887.XXXX
     status = ...


Is this a regular behavior or is this a bug?
Some details: SW: headnode: torque v2.1.6; (pbs_server)
                            maui 3.2.6patch18-snapshot1164120675
                  nodes: torque v2.1.6; (pbs_mom)
              HW: nodes: Dual Opteron 275

Thank you in advance for your comments,
best regards,

Thomas Dargel.
