But Slurm will still only run the job in *one* of the partitions - it
will never "pool" two partitions and let the job run on all nodes.  All
nodes of a job must belong to the same partition.  (Another thing I
found out recently is that if you specify multiple partitions for an
array job, then all array subjobs will run in the same partition.)

As Ole suggests: creating a "super partition" containing all nodes will
work.
