Description Ole.H.Nielsen@fysik.dtu.dk 2019-01-21 03:25:15 MST 
The sinfo manual pages states:

-N, --Node
    Print information in a node-oriented format with one line per node. The default is to print information in a partition-oriented format. This is ignored if the --format option is specified. 

However, our nodes who are members of multiple partitions are printed with multiple lines per node in stead of the documented one line per node.  For example:

$ sinfo -N -n d001
NODELIST   NODES PARTITION STATE 
d001           1    xeon8* alloc 
d001           1  xeon8_48 alloc 

Request: Could you kindly update the sinfo manual page, or correct the sinfo command to behave as documented?

Thanks,
Ole

Hi Ole,

You are right, the documentation is not well specified.
If a node is in several partitions one line per partition and node is shown.
Unless --partition is also specified, then only one line per node on the specified partition will be shown.

We are improving the documentation and release it soon.

Thanks for reporting it,
Albert
