Hi all, I'm trying to clean up and reconfigure fair share on a slurm 20.11.9 
production cluster after some trial and error before I started looking into it. 
I don't know the full story and need to pick up here. Fair share is enabled 
with default settings and not customised. It looks a bit like it was enabled by 
accident and relevant options are undefined/at default.

As a first step I would like to understand the current state. Executing sshare 
includes output like this (output shortened but complete for the two relevant 
accounts):

Account   User        Partition     RawShares   NormShares   RawUsage     
EffectvUsage   FairShare

0.000000       1.000000

0.000000       1.000000

User U4 is not a member of any other account.

I understand everything about this output except the line I marked. Both 
accounts A1 and A2 have zero usage, yet, for user U4 on partition P1 we have 
effective usage 1.0, screwing the fair share factors up for everyone in this 
account. As far as I can tell, both accounts should look identical with a fair 
share factor of 1 for every user.

I'm grateful for any pointer for what to look for.

Best regards,
Frank
