In your example, you do not have enough memory for both sruns at the same

Nice spot, I think I was thinking in mem-per-task (which doesn't exist) then!
Unfortunately fixing it doesn't seem to resolve the issue, both these changed
versions have the same result:

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH -n2
#SBATCH -c2
#SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=4g
srun -n1 --mem-per-cpu=500m sleep 5 &
srun -n1 --mem-per-cpu=1g hostname
---------------8< snip snip 8<---------------

srun: Job 1244182 step creation temporarily disabled, retrying

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH -n2

srun -n1 --mem-per-cpu=250m sleep 5 &

All the best,

That's interesting, those examples work for me on 17.11.7, I am not sure what's
stopping you now.
