Fairshare points return rate

[Christopher B Coffey]

Hello,

I think I have either a configuration problem, or I am not understanding
something correctly. I have the following set for fairshare in slurm.conf:

PriorityType=priority/multifactor
PriorityDecayHalfLife=7-0


Yet, a users fairshare points, shown by sshare, do not return at the rate
that I had envisioned. The points are returning extremely slowly (many
weeks). The way I understood it was that the full share of points would
return in 7 days. In my example below, a user would have full fairshare
points when the number was 0.25.

normal abc9 1 0.006329 8131420 0.081451 0.000134



Also, I’m not sure I have the shares correctly configured now that I think
about it. In general fairshare priority has been working, but the points
returning issue has vexed me, thanks guys!
