Hi,
I am getting "error" results on all my machines (XP/pro 32 and XP/pro 64, all updated to latest MS patches) only for "FAAH" computation projects. The log is similar, and the error the same for all machines: <core_client_version>5.5.0</core_client_version> <message> - exit code -29 (0xffffffe3) </message> <stderr_txt> Failed to get VersionInfo size: 1812 ERROR:[05:32:52] Could not open dpf file, faah5008_1hvs_1a9m_00.dpf The machines are running different versions of BOINC (all as a service with admin permissions), are different processors (P4, P4HT, P4 Xeon, Core2, Athlon), and compute all other project tasks without error. The machines, however, never finish a FAAH task successfully. This is wasting a lot of computation cycles - hours and days. If I can't figure out why this is happening, I will have to block that project. Thanks, Fred B |

Is this a new problem, or has it been going on for a long time?

The core client version number looks very suspicious as a very first pre-alpha to 5.6. Can't even remember if 5.6 ever reaching production.... sort of skipped and via 5.7 alpha to 5.8 production is how things moved along.... well we're on 5.10.45 as recommended release for all OSses.
----------------------------------------But, if things worked before, keep 5.5.0

Hi Serekob and Didactylos,
Thanks for the quick responses. Upon full study of the error parameters, this is what I find (data is limited to FAAH computations): -Tasks first assigned 7/7 -Number of errors prior to 7/23: none -Number of errors since 7/23: Eight -Number of Valid computations since 7/23: 15 -Number of Pending Validation computations since 7/23: 14 -Number currently processing or in local queues: 15 The problem is more random than I thought. Thanks again for your assistance, FB Error parameter details (below) show multiple machines computing valid and invalid tasks, with error samples indicating two differing error types. You will also note the error present on 5.5.0 and 5.10.30 (old and new installations on varying machines) valid 1 7/26 (IS-1244) 1 7/26 (IS-1162) 1 7/26 (TUS808608) 1 7/25 (KYRA2) 1 7/25 (SMC3) 1 7/24 (A64-2C5000) 3 7/24 (TUS808608) 1 7/24 (A64-2C5000) 2 7/24 (SMC3) 1 7/24 (term2bert) 1 7/23 (C2-Q266) Error 1 7/25 (TUS808608) 1 7/25 (A62-2C5000) 1 7/25 (KREBS-SMC2) 1 7/25 (IS-1162) 2 7/25 (KYRA2) 1 7/25 (TUS808608) 1 7/23 (TUS808608) <core_client_version>5.10.30</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> WU download error: couldn't get input files: <file_xfer_error> <file_name>faah4170_LpvA_Npl3_MIN2_xmd05290_01_xmd05290.pdbqt</file_name> <error_code>-224</error_code> <error_message>file not found</error_message> </file_xfer_error> <core_client_version>5.10.30</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> - exit code -29 (0xffffffe3) </message> <stderr_txt> Failed to get VersionInfo size: 2 ERROR:[09:17:53] Could not open dpf file, faah5008_1mui_1a9m_00.dpf <core_client_version>5.5.0</core_client_version> <message> - exit code -29 (0xffffffe3) </message> <stderr_txt> Failed to get VersionInfo size: 1812 ERROR:[08:32:10] Could not open dpf file, faah5010_1met_1dmp_00.dpf <core_client_version>5.5.0</core_client_version> <message> - exit code -29 (0xffffffe3) </message> <stderr_txt> Failed to get VersionInfo size: 1812 ERROR:[05:32:52] Could not open dpf file, faah5008_1hvs_1a9m_00.dpf |

The error -29 that you are seeing is due to the known issue that has been resolved and no more or those work units are being sent out until we can rebuild them. It has to due with incorrectly created work unit files.
