1) Message boards : Number crunching : Ghost WUs... ? (Message 61999) Posted 29 Jun 2009 by PinkPenguin Post: OK - Thanks for the reply. So long as the system sorts itself out in the end it's not a problem and the due date isn't that fare ahead (I'd probably be more concerned if the due dates were next year like in CPDN). Regards, Richard
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Ghost WUs... ? (Message 61987) Posted 28 Jun 2009 by PinkPenguin Post: According to the web site I have 3 WUs in progress due on 7th July - here is the list: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/results.php?hostid=1056676 The Task Numbers are: 261812876 261812710 261812707 Trouble is I can't seem to find any trace of them in the logs (in particular: stdoutdae.txt) or client_state.xml. What is certain is that they are not In Progress on Computer ID 1056676 - Might be a good idea to re-send them to anyone if that's possibile.... or wait for them to fall through the due date. Main reason to report is that I can find no trace of even having received the files or WU on this host/client... so it could be a server problem. Regards, Richard
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with Minirosetta 1.80 (Message 61957) Posted 26 Jun 2009 by PinkPenguin Post: Reporting a couple of -161 errors encountered at the end of lb_cutback_all_multi_hb work units which appear to have completed OK. On Windows Vista (Intel Core Duo 2GHz) - BOINC 6.6.36 / Rosetta 1.80: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=261371341 On Linux Fedora v10 (Intel Pentium 4 3.00GHz) - BOINC 6.4.7 / Rosetta 1.80: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=261035946 In this case the other task with the same workunit (238257150) completed without errors. I noticed that there are similar reports earlier in thIS thread (see also message: 61948 from P.P.L.). This may be similar to a series of lb_thread_all_multi errors reported earlier this month. All the best, Richard
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with Minirosetta Version 1.71 (Message 61664) Posted 10 Jun 2009 by PinkPenguin Post: Regarding the problems with the lb_thread_all_multi.... work units returning a -161 error code on file transfer at the end of the work unit. I should note that several people have signaled the problem and that the same error occurs on different machines both Linux and Windows. It also occurs on both runs of the same work unit by different people. This seems to indicate a general problem with this type of WU rather than an isolated client error (for example due to anti-virus activity as suggested in the past). The -161 error code appears to be given because there is no output file to send back. Here is the log message from stdoutdae.txt on windows: 09-Jun-2009 04:47:13 [rosetta@home] Computation for task lb_thread_all_multi_hb_t308__IGNORE_THE_REST_12724_587_0 finished 09-Jun-2009 04:47:13 [rosetta@home] Output file lb_thread_all_multi_hb_t308__IGNORE_THE_REST_12724_587_0_0 for task lb_thread_all_multi_hb_t308__IGNORE_THE_REST_12724_587_0 absent For examples se previous messages: Message 61638 (2nd type of error). Message 61647 Message 61650
5) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems with Minirosetta Version 1.71 (Message 61647) Posted 9 Jun 2009 by PinkPenguin Post: Ok, seems like I am experiencing the same problem with mini rosetta 1.71 on both Linux a Windows Vista boxes. This seems to apply to all lb_thread_all_multi... work units which give a -161 error on file transfer at the end of the Job which appears to have completed OK. Pentium 4 - Linux (Fedora Core 9) - BOINC 6.4.7 http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=257118194 http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=257399741 Pentium Core Duo - Windows Vista - BOINC 6.6.31 http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=257114975 This is the error message in the output for all three examples above: <file_xfer_error> <file_name>lb_thread_all_multi_hb_t308__IGNORE_THE_REST_12724_587_0_0</file_name> <error_code>-161</error_code> </file_xfer_error> .... I suspect a bug - anyway the result is a "client error" and a depressed PC which I am having to persuade to keep crunching and, anyway, it should at least get a few points for having done it's best.... the things one has to do to persuade these things to do some work ! All the best, Richard
