<br>
Deleting jobs 33-35 does not make job 38 run. However, deleting ALL
1-core jobs does make 38 run - but I had to delete ALL of the 1-core
jobs.<br>
<br>
I also tried:<br>
<br>
BACKFILLPOLICY BESTFIT<br>
RESERVATIONPOLICY CURRENTHIGHEST<br>
<br>
Restarted Maui and re-loaded the Q and re-created the condition but
still having the same issue.<br>

–p was truncated. I was hoping to see that 33-35 (Queued) did not have
a large QTime which may be increasing their priority higher than your
job 38. That could cause them to make job 38 wait even though they are
not running. Sounds doubtful in your scenario but I’ve seen it cause
issues before.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

use the same preemption concept you’re trying to achieve but I’m having
a hard time narrowing down the cause for your error. A few small
differences with our configuration is the backfill policy and
reservation policy. You might try these settings and then restart maui:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
