[slurm-users] Jobs pending with reason "priority" but nodes are idle

Hi,

On our cluster we have some jobs that are queued even though there are available nodes to run on. The listed reason is "priority" but that doesn't really make sense to me. Slurm isn't picking another job to run on those nodes; it's just not running anything at all. We do have a quite heterogeneous cluster, but as far as I can tell the queued jobs aren't requesting anything that would preclude them from running on the idle nodes. They are array jobs, if that makes a difference.

Thanks for any help you all can provide.
