[slurm-users] can't get fairshare to be calculated per partition

[Ryan Cox]

Fairshare is calculated based on an "association".  If you look in the 
manpage for sacctmgr under ENTITIES, you will see:
        association
               The  entity  used  to  group information consisting of 
four parameters: account, cluster, partition (optional), and user.

Users can have entries for multiple partitions, thus making each of 
those entries a separate association.  I have played with this before 
but don't remember it well enough to be helpful, so you'll have to 
familiarize yourself with the sacctmgr manpage.  IIRC it's very similar 
to creating a user, it's just that it has the same username but 
partition=somepartition3.  Things don't change for how the user 
interacts with the system.

This is not the easiest thing to work with since every user would need 
each partition (at the least the ones you care about) to be defined for 
them.  At least that's my recollection of it, and I could be wrong.
