For what it's worth, I just received the following message from BOINC:
8/31/2007 9:03:47 AM|World Community Grid|Reason: Unrecoverable error for result dddt0101a0025_ZINC04112981-0000_07_0 (Maximum disk usage exceeded) My PC immediately started crunching a HPF WU after this error. BOINC is set for a max of 4 GB disk space (the default, I think), and I have 55 GB free. That's a lot of space. |

The work-units itself also have a restriction internally. We've had a few occasions with i think FA@H in past. Check to see if the other work unit in the quorum also fail (Result Status page and hit the work unit name).

Others in the quorum are valid. What do I need to do to this machine? Reinstall BOINC & reattach? [Edit 4 times, last edit by Former Member at Aug 31, 2007 3:28:46 PM] |

There have been a few workunits erroring out on DDDT. The error causes a core dump (which then triggers the space error). We are trying to determine the source of the error now.

Check to see if the other work unit in the quorum also fail (Result Status page and hit the work unit name). In the quorum, there is one other fail besides mine, and two others marked "in progress" (only four total listed, if you include mine). I believe mine failed at the very start of the WU. |

Phew, it's not just me. I had 6 different workunits error out with that same error today. In 5 of the cases, all seven copies sent out show a status of "error". (The other workunit shows 5 copies sent out, three copies so far returned as "error".)
----------------------------------------Two computers, both with Windows XP, BOINC 5.8x (can't remember exact because they are my work machines). Once stats update I can get the workunit titles if you need them. Computer IDs would have to wait until Tuesday.  [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Sep 1, 2007 12:23:57 AM] |

Hello sedgecom,
New projects almost always discover some work units that cause an error. Sometimes this is a programming error, sometimes an algorithmic design error and sometimes it is just an overlooked possibility in the algorithm. (Maybe I should just call that an algorithmic error.) Also, it is easy to make an error in the data files, particularly at first. The WCG staff are on the alert for work units that always cause errors. If there are useful debug messages, please report them once you see that other people also get errors on the same work unit. A lot of these problem units will be automatically reported to the WCG staff, even if you are taking it easy over the weekend. So enjoy your weekend. This is the season for sun and fun! Lawrence |

Thanks Lawrence--
For the group's information, there were seven copies of the WU I mentioned at the start of the thread sent out, and all failed. |

Lawrence Well, when their weekend is over, they have some work to do ;) I have stopped crunching DDDT WU's because of these errors. I had 4 of them errors out today. |

Wow - I went away for the weekend and came back and found a TON of these. I'm unchecking dengue also until it's fixed.
