[torqueusers] Memory request ignored

[Matthias Meinke]

Hi,

we have just made the transition from gridengine to torque for a small cluster 
with about 300 cpu cores. That is why I am not yet an experienced torque user.

Right now I have the following question:

Although all nodes have a physical memory of less or equal 32 GByte, a job 
which requires the resources -lmem=90GB or -lpmem=90GB which I just specified 
for testing purposes is accepted and executed in one of the configured queues. 
I expected that such a job is queued, but never executed because of non 
available resources.

The configuration I am using is:

maui-3.3.1.tar.gz
torque-3.0.2.tar.gz

What I sound in the mailing list is a suggestion to specify the option

RESOURCELIMITPOLICY MEM:ALWAYS:CANCEL


what I also specified in maui.cfg, but which did not  stop scheduling those 
jobs, which require more memory than available. Is this the default behaviour 
or did I miss something in the configuration?

I am grateful for any hints.

The pbs server configuration is here
