I have just checked the BOINC manager's list of WUs being crunched and I have an UGM WU that isn't showing any Remaining time (it shows "---") yet the Elapsed time keeps on increasing (currently showing 7:40:43). Status is still "Running". Progress is showing 84.507%. The Properties for the WU indicate "Last Checkpoint = ---". The WU seems to still be crunching OK, except for the weird missing "Remaining time". Any one else seen this?

If you'd been there at beta-test time, it'd not be new to you
 Iirc, the tasks that did this were not checkpointing at all. This could be verified in the task slot or with boinctasks or with opening task properties, no checkpoint being logged. Kill, or suspend for technician instruction, or it will run until it exceeds maximum runtime. Of course, for the technicians to do an take-out instruction, they'd need to know the task name! |

Well, no, I didn't participate with the beta testing, so yes, it's is new to me. The offending WU is:
----------------------------------------ugm1_ ugm1_ 00946_ 1199_ 0-- - In Progress 10/28/14 07:34:23 11/4/14 07:34:23 0.00 0.0 / 0.0 and it's definitely not playing nice... it has reset to zero and is starting over again  . OK... So I will abort this one since it is not checkpointing. Thanks for the explanations  .Thanks, CJSL Crunching for a better world... ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by cjslman at Oct 29, 2014 6:05:13 PM] |

cjslman,
The problem we saw in beta was an issue with some invalid characters in the work units themselves. I don't think that's the case here because I wasn't able to recreate it for this work unit locally (and the other two copies of the work unit completed successully). Have you experienced this problem with any other work units? Seippel |
