Description Stuart Midgley 2014-11-02 11:55:55 MST 
20141103095435 bud30:~> salloc -p idle,idleProc,teamProd,teamdev --mem=80000 --nice=0 -c 8 
salloc: error: Job submit/allocate failed: Invalid partition name specified


It would be good if it actually told me which partition was the problem...
Comment 1 Moe Jette 2014-11-03 07:38:40 MST 
This is for Brian (or whoever works on this):
The job_allocate() function in job_mgr.c takes an argument of "char **err_msg" and this can include whatever details we want to pass back to the user about why his job was rejected.
