Hi,

this host is currently crunching 2 WUs since more than 50 hrs (computing time), ETA is shown in BOINC manager at "---" but still they go on crunching.

I've got about 37 more WUs in the queue, but when I look at the results page in "My Account" I see the last reported WU dates back to February, so I guess no WU out of the last big bunch I got was cempleted.

Should I abort all of these 39 WUs?

bye

Hi there,

I've got the same problem, though not nearly at the 50hr stage yet, thank goodness!! I'm just over 6hrs into WUs that estimated just over 4hrs. They are all still crunching with "---" left. Anyone have any ideas what's going wrong and how to get round it?

Thanks.
Paul

There are some problems at the moment. Have your long running wu's done anything at all, ie. is the percentage done above zero?

Same problem here. I've been seeing this a bit recently, WU start crunching and then get stuck. This is not definitive (yet) but I checked the last batch, all of the stuck WU had names that start 1ebw ... or 1ebz ...

I've got a few more of these in the queue for the two systems I have crunching for Docking. If I see any more of these WU get stuck, I'll run through and abort them all.

That said, can we get some feedback on this from the project folks. Is this a known problem or what?

Dear volunteers,

This issue is caused by the download space problem of the D@H server, the server was full during the past month, and it caused some bad workunits to be distributed to the volunteers, we are sorry for this incident.

Please abort all the 0% workunits (the workunits start with "1hvi", "1hvj", "1hvk", "1hv", "1m0b", "1iiq", "1ebw", "1ebz"), and the problem should be gone now, the newly distributed workunits are the good ones.

Please refer to this thread to see more detailed information: http://docking.cis.udel.edu/community/forum/thread.php?id=702

Thanks for the patients!
