hello ryan thank you for your reply. it appears that you are right, i had created associations for every project, user and partition and thats how `sshare` looks like now:
1 account user part3b 1 0.003623 0 0.000000 0.999950 2 account user part1b 1 0.003623 0 0.000000 0.999950 3 account user part3 1 0.003623 0 0.000000 0.999950 4 account user part2 1 0.003623 0 0.000000 0.999950 5 account user part1 1 0.003623 840 0.000001 0.999819 6 account user 1 0.003623 2973 0.000003 0.999485 so as far as I understand the fair share value for the associated partitions were inherited from the association user/account and then get decreased from there as user runs jobs for a given partition. in the example above i had ran a few jobs in part1 so that's why its fair share value is a bit smaller. but I am not sure when is it going to reset to 1.0. does fair share calc follow PriorityDecayHalfLife and PriorityUsageResetPeriod ? I am sorry if those kind of questions are already answered somewhere, but I really can't find many information about fair share calculation in the documentation and/or man pages. I'll be glad to read whatever you point me to about that subject. thanks
