[slurm-users] About PriorityType

[Pavel Vashchenkov]

Hi all

Do I understand correctly that keyword
"PriorityType=priority/basic"
means that a job which is the first in queue will not let other jobs to 
start before it?  And this keyword is enough to switch on this mode?


The problem is following.
I have a job in queue which does not start long time. All small jobs 
(requiring 1 or 2 nodes) start but this my big job which requires all 
nodes still waiting in queue. I do know that asked resources do not 
exceed real resources of the cluster, because it had been started when 
were no other jobs.
