 # As of now, it seems that the Snakemake slurm plugin only understands MB and minutes,

 # see https://github.com/snakemake/snakemake-executor-plugin-slurm/issues/175
 # So, for now, please convert everything to these units.
 
+# Furthermore, there is a bug in the snakemake slurm submission, where the number
+# of cores on the login node (where typically snakemake is being run, and from which
+# the slurm jobs are hence submitted) is used as a limitation check for the number
+# of cores a job can request, in order to avoid over-allocation.
+# Of course, on many clusters, the login node might have way fewer cores than the
+# compute nodes, and so this prevents us of submitting jobs that need more cores
+# than the login node has. Silly.
+# See: https://github.com/snakemake/snakemake/issues/2997
+# The workaround for this is to run snakemake with `--cores 1024` or some other
+# large number - those cores might however be used for some local rules, which
+# however should not lead to issues on the login node.
