Something odd is going on on our cluster. User has a lot of pending jobs in a job array (a few thousand).

squeue -u kmnx005 -r -t PD | head -5

JOBID PARTITION NAME USER ST TIME NODES NODELIST(REASON)

3045324_875 core run_scp_ kmnx005 PD 0:00 1 (JobArrayTaskLimit)

3045324_876 core run_scp_ kmnx005 PD 0:00 1 (JobArrayTaskLimit)

3045324_877 core run_scp_ kmnx005 PD 0:00 1 (JobArrayTaskLimit)

3045324_878 core run_scp_ kmnx005 PD 0:00 1 (JobArrayTaskLimit)

None are getting scheduled. But when I ask SLURM what that job’s priority is, it produces no output:

$ sprio -j 3045324

JOBID PARTITION PRIORITY SITE AGE FAIRSHARE JOBSIZE PARTITION QOS TRES

Any clues what’s going on here?
