Hi Mike,

My showuserlimits tool prints nicely user limits from the Slurm database:

Maybe this can give you further insights into the source of problems.

Hey, folks. I’ve just upgraded from Slurm 17.02 (way behind schedule, I know) 
to 19.05. The only thing I’ve noticed going wrong is that my user resource 
limits aren’t being applied correctly.

My typical user has a GrpTRESRunMin limit of cpu=1440000 (1000 CPU-days), and 
after the upgrade, it appears that limit is blocking jobs even when I’m only 
requesting a very small amount of resources (2 CPU-hours).

With no limits, job runs fine:

=====

[root@login ~]# squeue -u renfro
              JOBID PARTITION     NAME     USER ST       TIME  NODES 
NODELIST(REASON)
[root@login ~]# sacctmgr modify user renfro set grptresrunmin=cpu=-1

[renfro@login ~]$ hpcshell --reservation=slurm-upgrade
[renfro@gpunode001(job 232393) ~]$ exit

=====

With the 1000 CPU-days limit, a 2 CPU-hour jobs is permanently pending:

No other jobs under the hpcadmins account are running or queued. Any ideas on 
what might be going on? Thanks for any help provided.
