quick systems operations and management question

[SWScorch]

For those of you who tok the class; I have a quick question. Suppose you have a queue of 25 jobs, and 10 memory partitions that are dynamic. You manage to fill up 5 of those partitions with jobs on the first pass, but the 6th job is too big. Do you simply ignore job 6 and try to fil up the rest of the partitions, or do you combine two adjacent partitions right then and there to try to fit Job 6 in? thanks
