Hi Michael, thanks very much for your swift reply. So here we would have to convince the users they'd have to specify this when submitting, right? I.e. 'sbatch --exclusive myjob.sh', if I understand correctly. Would there be a way to simply enforce this, i.e. at the slurm.conf level or something?
Thanks again!
