Hello,

I am trying to setup my SLURM cluster. One of thing I want to achieve was to 
schedule jobs which will be run on when there are no high priority tasks.
My understanding is that this can be achieved by either configuring a partition 
with pre-empt mode 'Suspend/Reque' with priority for this being very low or 
have a QOS configured with very low priority.

Here are my questions:

  1.  Is there built-in 'scavenger' feature/partition or 'qos' that I can make 
use of?
  2.  When I created a 'scavenger' partition with lower priority  (preempt 
mode=suspend), and debug partition with higher priority (preempt mode=suspend), 
scheduler is not pre-empting the jobs run on scavenger partition when I submit 
the jobs with debug partition immediately. However if I change the pre-empt 
mode for scavenger partition to 'requeue', pre-emptions happens immediately.
Thanks
