Hello all,

I’m trying to implement multiple “ephemeral” queues that allow general usage of 
project-specific hardware, but with preemption. One partition would wait a 
while before jobs are preempted, another where preemption occurs almost 
immediately, using a very short time to emulate a short grace period. (Other 
partitions with higher priorities would have preemption disabled and usage 
restricted.) An attempt follows:

PartitionName=scavenge  Nodes=gaia02,saga03                Default=YES 
MaxTime=12:00:00 State=UP PriorityTier=1 PreemptMode=REQUEUE 
PreemptExemptTime=0-0:00:30
PartitionName=ephemeral Nodes=gaia01,saga0[1-2],saga04                 
MaxTime=12:00:00 State=UP PriorityTier=1 PreemptMode=REQUEUE 
PreemptExemptTime=0-1:00:00

However, this isn’t allowed. I’ve set the following at the main configuration 
level:

PreemptType=preempt/partition_prio
JobRequeue=1

Is there another way to get this behavior?
