My only thought to achieve this would be to define a license for the partition with a count of 1 and to use the job submit filter to ensure that any job that is submitted to (or ends up being directed to) that partition requests that one license.

So I'm assuming that MaxJobs is per user, GrpJobs is not.
Re: [slurm-users] Limit partition to 1 job at a time
Thanks! I suppose I am confused about how GrpJobs works. The manual shows: The total number of jobs able to run at any given time from an association and its children QOS It is my understanding an association is cluster + account + user. Would this not just limit it to 1 job per user in the partition, not 1 job at a time total in the partition?

Re: [slurm-users] Limit partition to 1 job at a time
I think you could do this by clever use of a partition level QoS but I don't have an obvious way of doing this. -Paul Edmon- On 3/22/2022 11:40 AM, Russell Jones wrote: Hi all, For various reasons, we need to limit a partition to being able to run max 1 job at a time.

[slurm-users] Limit partition to 1 job at a time
Hi all, For various reasons, we need to limit a partition to being able to run max 1 job at a time. Not 1 job per user, but 1 job total at a time, while queuing any other jobs to run after this one is complete. I am struggling to figure out how to do this. Any tips? Thanks!
