<p class="MsoNormal">I need to set up a partition that limits the number of jobs allowed to run at one time. Looking at the slurm.conf page for partition definitions I don’t see a MaxJobs option.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a way to limit the number of jobs in a partition?<o:p></o:p></p>
