[slurm-users] srun: error: Unable to allocate resources: Invalid partition name specified

[Michael Robbert]

The line that you list from your slurm.conf shows the "course" partition 
being set as the default partition, but on our system the sinfo command 
shows our default partition with a * at the end and your output doesn't 
show that so I'm wondering if you've got another partition that is 
getting defined as the default partition.

Can you post the full output of 'sinfo -a' and maybe the output of 'grep 
-i ^Partition /etc/slurm/slurm.conf' would help us debug as well.
