[Condor-users] "condor_q -better-analyze" has always a strange requirement marked as "REMOVE" !?!

[Rob <spamrefuse@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

This is with Condor 7.4.2 on a Linux Fedora master and with Condor 7.4.4 on the 
Windows XP pool PCs.

Whenever I do a "condor_q -better-analyze" on a job, I always get an additional 
requirement like:

( ( ( 1024 * target.Memory ) >= 25 ) && ( ( 1024 * 
ceiling(ifThenElse(JobVMMemory isnt 
undefined,JobVMMemory,2.441406250000000E-02)) ) >= 25 ) )

which gives 0 (zero) machines and is thus marked as "REMOVE".

However, this requirement is not set by me in the submission file, hence how can 

I remove it?

For example, today I encounter this situation:

==========================
$ cat helloworld.condor
Universe   = Vanilla
Executable = helloworld.exe
should_transfer_files = YES
when_to_transfer_output = ON_EXIT

Requirements = (target.Arch == "INTEL") && (target.OpSys == "WINNT51") && 
(Machine == "SP_1F_02")

log = $(Cluster)_$(PROCESS)_helloworld.log
output = $(Cluster)_$(PROCESS)_helloworld.out
error  = $(Cluster)_$(PROCESS)_helloworld.err
arguments = "helloworld"
Queue



$ condor_q -better-analyze 325

6   ( target.HasFileTransfer )        492                  
==========================

This tells me that "no match found" and the only reason for that is the 
misterious 1st requirement; otherwise at least 2 machines should be available 
for running the job......

What should I do?

Thanks.

Rob.
