I was doing some testing with core specialization (<a href="https://slurm.schedmd.com/core_spec.html" id="LPNoLP412294">https://slurm.schedmd.com/core_spec.html</a>) before deciding that I don't want to have it enabled, so I'm trying to turn it off. The problem
is that on most of the nodes in my cluster, I can't disable it.</div>

I've removed the CoreSpecCount and CPUSpecList lines from slurm.conf. My slurm.conf file is shared via NFS to all the nodes in the cluster, so it should apply to all of them. But for the majority of my nodes, I still see one specialized core:</div>
