[slurm-users] sbatch - accept jobs above limits

[Stephen Cousins]

I can duplicate this error word for word by submitting a job asking for
150gb of memory when the nodes in that partition have a maximum of 128GB.

Take a look at the memory values in your node specifications and in your
job script or command line. Maybe there is a typo.
