After spending about 40 hrs on wu HFCC_ s2_ 00169487_ s2_ 0001_ 0-- , I finally aborted it since it kept restarting back at 0%. Symptoms are similar to another thread about a wu restarting. That thread was tagged as resolved so I opened this new one.
----------------------------------------I've been running 2 HFCC wu's at a time for weeks now and this is the only wu that had a problem. The last restart was the only one that showed a 'restarting' msg in the Message Tab. Don't know why it keeps restarting - nothing special going on with the laptop when the restarts happen. It restarted at a different point each time. Not sure if this WU has a problem or if it is something with my machine. Since I aborted it, I thought I should report the problem. Here is the stderr info captured before the abort (condensed): Failed to get VersionInfo size: 2 INFO:[09:05:32] Start AutoGrid... autogrid: autogrid4: Successful Completion.

Hi,
----------------------------------------Yes, with a manual abort the error code that otherwise would have recorded is lost. If you look through the stdoutdae.txt log of BOINC are there any "zero status exits" recorded around that timeframe? Plz monitor the Result Status page work unit quorum detail to see how the repair job is doing. Was this originally a init 1 quorum 1 or a init 2 quorum 2. The sent time stamps will tell what order the work was distributed. Sorry for your 40 hours cycling through the task.

The only related msgs in the stdoutdae file were:
26-Feb-2010 09:05:32 [World Community Grid] Starting HFCC_s2_00169487_s2_0001_0 26-Feb-2010 09:05:32 [World Community Grid] Starting task HFCC_s2_00169487_s2_0001_0 using hfcc version 610 28-Feb-2010 00:48:09 [World Community Grid] Restarting task HFCC_s2_00169487_s2_0001_0 using hfcc version 610 28-Feb-2010 01:40:57 [World Community Grid] Computation for task HFCC_s2_00169487_s2_0001_0 finished There were no msgs for the other 2 restarts. Original quorum was just 1. One Repair copy has been sent out. Will keep an eye on it. Since the WU kept stoppng/restarting at different points, I was hoping that it would eventually be successful. No such luck.  |

Make sure your AV software has an exclusion for the BOINC Data dir
----------------------------------------2/24/2010 12:41:33 AM||Data directory: C:\ProgramData\BOINC It's a source of problems at times, it being save since BOINC checks file integrity too and gets told by the projects your client is attached too what it's supposed to have in task files.

I just checked my exclusions. Thought maybe I lost the BOINC entry since I recently upgraded to a newer version of Norton. But it's still in there.
Also checked the AV history. There were no AV msgs at the time of the restarts. |

My wingman finished the repair WU successfully without any restarts so I will tag this problem as resolved. Must have been a problem with my machine.
