[slurm-users] How to create a partition where only one job can run concurrently?

[Brian Andrus]

If you have accounting implemented, just set MaxJobs and it will do the 
trick:

MaxJobs= The total number of jobs able to run at any given time for the 
given association. If this limit is reached new jobs will be queued but 
only allowed to run after previous jobs complete from the association.
