[Mauiusers] Re: Standing reservation seems to apply to more hosts than defined in HOSTLIST

[Matthias Lein]

Hi Group!

I have a peculiar problem here:

I have several nodes called work1, work2, ..., work10, work11, ...
And on node "work1" there is a standing reservation for working hours:

SRCFG[work1]           USERLIST=lein
SRCFG[work1]           OWNER=USER:lein
SRCFG[work1]           HOSTLIST=work1
SRCFG[work1]           PERIOD=DAY DAYS=MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI
SRCFG[work1]           STARTTIME=8:00:00 ENDTIME=20:00:00
SRCFG[work1]           ACCESS=shared

However, when I check the reservations with showres, it seems that
"work1" is interpreted as part of a hostname - so in effect
reservation work1.0.0 places a stadning reservation for work1, work10,
work11, ...

[and so on]

Besause of other reservations of the same kind on some of the machines
(work1[0-9]), checknode tells me that the node is overcommitted:

Then, diagnose -r tells me that there is only "work1" in the hostlist,
but says that there are 5 nodes and 6 processors reserved...

Am I missing something here? How can I keep maui from expanding
"work1" into "work1*"?

Cheers,
