Question: Slurm MinCount is this min nodes running or min nodes available to take jobs? #6417

I'm looking for an option similar to MinCount, but instead of specifying the minimum number of nodes that are always running, I'd like to specify that there is at least X nodes running and those nodes are able to take jobs.

I'm not sure I understand the difference you are specifying? minimum number of nodes that are always running vs at least X nodes running. They seem to be the same thing.

MinCount is indeed the number of static nodes that are always available to take jobs
