I must be missing a setting somewhere, but when I try to submit a job
array with several thousand jobs in it it fails with;
sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: Invalid job array specification

If I change the number of jobs, it works fine;

e.g.
#SBATCH --array=1-8218%8
fails

but
#SBATCH --array=1-1000%8
works

I'm not forcing any limits in the slurm.conf that I see, and I tried
changing maxjobcount to
MaxJobCount=20000

just in case, but no help.

Is there a job array size somewhere I'm not seeing?

I'm not using accounting.

Thanks!
