You have used 'sacctmgr' to assign shares to the associations<br>
corresponding to the users, right? Check the output of 'sshare' to see<br>
information on how the shares have been set up and what the actual<br>
fairshare values are. Unfortunately, the web page for the multifactor plugin<br>
<br>
<a href="https://slurm.schedmd.com/priority_multifactor.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://slurm.schedmd.com/<wbr>priority_multifactor.html</a><br>
<br>
doesn't seem to mention setting things up with 'sacct'.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
