[HTCondor-users] Quotas - accepting surplus but not too much surplus

[Jerome Samson <jeromes@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have a pool with dynamic group quota definition. We set up :
GROUP_NAMES =  A, B
GROUP_QUOTA_DYNAMIC_A = .8
GROUP_QUOTA_DYNAMIC_B = .2

GROUP_ACCEPT_SURPLUS = True

For specific reason we disabled condor's preemption (so when a job 
starts as 'surplus' it will take enough time to end correctly).

Thus when a group needs more ressources, the negotiator will find some 
available ressources in other groups, however I would like to prevent a 
a small portion of each group from being allocated.

For instance, when group B is running many jobs and A has no running 
tasks, it will get surplus from A but it could only get a max of 0.8 of 
the whole pool

Is there a correct way to do so ?
