Periodic SCC WU's hang crunchers and error

I usually don't bother with the rare WU that errors out for some reason. However, I'm seeing fairly regular instances now with SCC (I'm running SCC only for now) WUs on all of my crunchers. All are WIN 10 version 1803. The logs show either the finish file present too long message or a message about too many dynamically linked modules attached. One machine that is a crunching-only box usually hangs up with the disk IO light on solid and power-off/on is the only option. This happens every two to three days but tends to occur most often on the cruncher-only box. If I recall correctly, I don't believe I was seeing this prior to the 1803 update but that doesn't mean they are connected. I have about four more months of run time to go on SCC before I reach my goal and switch to another project so I may just do best to wait this one out. One oddity I did notice today in that while all my crunchers are 64bit, not all of the active wu's are running the 64bit science. A few run the 32bit. Again, that may well not be relevant. Mainly, it's the hassle of a cruncher not being seen as reliable after the error wu and all wu's going to PVER for about a day until it's seen as reliable again.

Re: Periodic SCC WU's hang crunchers and error

Sorry to hear keithhenry.
I currently also run SCC only as I'm aiming for diamond100.
Have a mixture of machines, laptops to rackservers, running both Windows 7/10(1803)/Sevrer2008 and Linux. I do not experience any problems at all, not even randoms. So my feel is that SCC feels quite solid.

Could it be a heat issue? Summer is really hot here in Sweden and I have been forced to lower cpuspeed on a few machines temporary to feel comfortable.

Hope you find a solution!

Re: Periodic SCC WU's hang crunchers and error

I am going to a shot in the dark here. Could your project hangs coincide with Win 10's periodic updating ? Other than that and the heat issue Andgra mentions, the only other possibility I can think of is an intermittent memory error. SCC has been rock solid for me, but I am running it exclusively on Linux.
Cheers

Re: Periodic SCC WU's hang crunchers and error

I doubt this is a heat issue - my Windows machines are in the basement and the room is still cool with them running. A memory problem would not surprise me. Windows has never been reliable running non-stop beyond a week or so. Being a crunching-only machine, I may have gotten slack at rebooting this one in particular. I'm in the process of switching to MCM/OET as I have enough work queued up to make diamond-20 on SCC and want to try to get a few other projects to that. SCC was solid for a long time for me until this started so I doubted anything was up with it unless it was something specific to particular batches of work. I'll watch my crunchers a bit closer for now.
