[torqueusers] managing consumable resources

[Jerry Smith]

Brian,

What does checknode -v GLOBAL give you?  If I add the GRES line I get:

node GLOBAL

State:      Idle  (in current state for 00:00:02)
Configured Resources: bogus: 2
Utilized   Resources: ---
Dedicated  Resources: ---
Opsys:      ---       Arch:      ---
Speed:      0.00     CPULoad:   0.000
Partition:  SHARED  Rack/Slot:  ---
EffNodeAccessPolicy: SINGLEJOB

Reservations:  ---
