rzlatic, it appears you are seeing tasks running more than 4 hours passed the runtime preference, then ended by the watchdog on a Linux system running the i686 application. Please see the discussion here.


indeed, tasks generating the problem were starting with "12v1n" and were run by i686-pc-linux (as seen here: https://imgur.com/WaDeO14).

created "cc_config.xml" config file in /var/lib/boinc/ with suggested settings, restarted boinc client and there seems to be none 686-pc-linux (32-bit) tasks now.
we'll see how it will be going.

thanks, great community and support.

same here.
some (not all) workunits reach 98.xxx% after 9-10 hours, then goes to a super-slow crawl, reporting 10 minutes left, but it goes for hours really. a few hours later the computation time is 13 hours, and still 98% with small fraction higher percentage than few hours ago.
if i restart boinc client at that point, the WU goes to zero and starts over again. 13 hours wasted.

this happens for a week now, every day, with random workunits.

is there a reason some of my workunits come to a crawl after 98% (8-10 hours at that time), with ETA stuck at 10:05 +/- a few seconds. after that the crunching of that particular WU lasts for hours.

its not with not all tasks, but every day there is (different) task with very similar percentage and very similar ETA. this happens repeatedly during last week.

tried to tweak disk, memory and cpu settings but resulting with same issue. anybody else?
