[Condor-users] Condor scheduling

[Ian Cottam <ian.cottam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I sometimes see 1000 jobs in the queue from a single user. Our pool has, 
say, 50 processors free that match, but has allocated just two (he runs 
jobs more or less constantly). Now, I know about the "freedom of the 
commons" scheduling, but is that what is going on?

Why cannot this user get a large share and then get thrown off some of 
the processors should a second user come along?

Apologies if this is all obvious.
