I was able to restart 3 work units. One of them had only 53 seconds left to completion when I interrupted it. After restarting and picking up from the checkpoint, that one now had 7 minutes of time left. Each work unit has been returned and is in Pending Verification status. I looked at the wingman and in each case, they did not have a restart work unit. I then compared the result.out of my work units to the corresponding wingmen and my restarted units did not match the result.out of the wingmen. I am waiting to see what the pending resend produces. I expect mine to be invalid since this is what was happening to some of my regular MCM units.

Update: All have gone invalid. In two of them, the 3rd wingman ran without restart and matched the result.out of the 1st wingman. In the remaining one, a 3rd wingman had a restart and his result.out didn't match the two original replications. A 4th wingman ran without restart and the wingmen with restarts were marked invalid.

Update 2: I looked at some of my valid units. I found one that was a restart but the result.out matched the value of the wingman who did not have a restart and the quorum was satisfied without another replication being sent.

Still a few Pending Verification:

I have two that validated even though they restarted and the wingmen didn't. The rest are all PVal apart from one in PVer where mine restarted and the wingman didn't, but the _2 copy is "Waiting to be sent " since 9:41.

Clearly none of the robots has decided it needs to wake a tech

All seems fine here too. Admittedly, I only tested the "suspend/resume" with LAIM off on one machine, but it worked just fine. I also suspended/resumed other Betas on 2 other machines (but with LAIM on) and that, of course, worked fine too. Still have some WUs to crunch on, then I hope the "project has no work" problem will also be fixed by the time I finish my cache.

Cheers!

I see I too got a couple of the 218s on my PC, but will have to wait until I get back home to see just how big they really are. Hopefully, I will be able to test them too.

Cheers!
