Hello,

I am running a small cluster, and recently we wanted to enable
the OverSubscribe option for the default partition in order to allow jobs
to share a node, as described here:

https://slurm.schedmd.com/cons_res_share.html

However, when I try to enable the option, I get an error message:

scontrol: error: Parsing error at unrecognized key: OverSubscribe
scontrol: error: Parse error in file /etc/slurm-llnl/slurm.conf line 52: "
OverSubscribe=YES"
scontrol: fatal: Unable to process configuration file

Also, srun does not recognise the "--oversubscribe" option:

srun: unrecognized option '--oversubscribe'

SelectType=select/linear is set, and we run the slurm version provided by
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, which is 15.08.7-1build1.

I could not find anything in the release nodes if maybe our somewhat
installation older installation does not support this option... any hint
would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Christian
