 ====== Pending Reasons ======
-So, why do my jobs not start? SLURM may list a number of reasons for pending jobs (those labelled ''PD'', when ''squeue'' is triggered).

 | ''Resources'' | while the partition may allow to take the resources you requested, it cannot not -- at the time -- provide the nodes to run on (e.g. because of a memory request which cannot be satisfied).|
+| ''ReqNodeNotAvail'' | simply means that no node with the required resources is available. SLRUM will list //all// non-available nodes, which can be confusing. This reason is similar to ''Priority'' as it means that a specific job has to wait for a resource to be released.|
