Re: Stuck unit?
Exit Boinc and re-start Boinc, it may give it a boot up the backside wink

Or suspend and resume the WU.

Re: Stuck unit?
After 9 hours I did Suspend/Resume with LAIM=off. The task was rescheduled and remains running in the same state as before (100% complete, full load).

...the first 2 machines didn't return it yet (probably still running it?).
Must be a buggy one.

I'm aborting it.

Re: Stuck unit?

Re: Stuck unit?
Mumak,

I ran this workunit in what we call standalone mode which means running it on a development machine not under the BOINC client. It ran just fine and showed regular percent complete updates and finished after reaching 100%. This must be an issue related to running under the client. I am currently running all of my clients full on MCM1 to try and catch one myself but have not had any luck yet.
For anyone who experiences this issue please supply the following:

  • Operating System and Version
  • BOINC Client version
  • Does the process continue incrementing CPU time (Windows use task manager, Unix use top or ps)
  • Locate the slot dir it is running in and check the contents of stderr.txt post its contents
  • Search the log file stdoutdae.txt in the boinc data directory for any entries with the workunit id and post any messages
  • What are the BOINC client settings for CPU throttle and LAIM

Re: Stuck unit?
That unit has run on:
1. Win7 x64, Core i7-860, HT on
2. BOINC 7.2.28
3. Yes, CPU time continued to increment several hours after reaching 100%
4. Will do when I catch it again
5. dtto
6. No throttle, LAIM=on. I disabled LAIM before restarting the task (suspend/resume), but as I said - it continued to run @ 100%

That particular task had problems on other machines as well: 2xUser Aborted, 2xNo Reply
