[slurm-users] Maxjobs not being enforced

[Juergen Salk]

Dear Tina,

probably a stupid question, but is there any other MaxJobs limit 
defined somewhere else above the user association in resource limit 
hierarchy?

For example, if MaxJobs=10000 in the partition/job QOS and MaxJob=100
in the user association, the QOS limit takes precedence over the
user association limit. Thus, the effective limit will be 10000 jobs
instead of 100 jobs.

Best regards
Jürgen
