still gets jobs preempted due to user priority (checked runtime values
with condor_config_val to see the values I expect are the ones
actually in use)
The above policy should definitely not allow preemption based on user
priority. Are you setting PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS in the configuration
of the negotiator? The rest of the settings apply to the worker node,
but that setting applies to the negotiator.
I was only setting PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS on the worker nodes so that
probably answers the question, but of course brings up another. I only
want this policy to apply to certain worker nodes for certain people (and
other worker nodes for other people based on group membership and
resource ownership). I'd taken out all the other variables to
simplify the problem as I saw it. Can I do this with a single
negotiator or do I need to make my world much more complicated?
