Thanks to everyone who replied; since my message I've run a few dozen ARP's without incident. But I didn't change anything with the computer or software. Maybe I got hit by cosmic rays on the failed ones.

I've just checked my latest returns, and I note that I now have three tasks with Validation errors. I doubt it's an issue specific to my system, as wingmen seem to be having the same problem! I can confirm that my errors were "Validate error" and the others show the same characteristics -- an apparently viable result with an unexplained Error status -- so they presumably suffered the same fate.
Here are the WU IDs, names and the current status for my three cases: WU 750849345 -- ARP1_0001267_150 Elsewhere, adriverhoef has reported similar for three different WUs, so there's something odd going on somewhere... Cheers - Al. |

As the MCM1 well has run dry, I noticed an ARP1 _3 resend which immediately errored out, after the initial WUs had resulted in errors after quite some runtime. Got a subsequent _3 resend on another host that immediately started due to the depletion of MCM1 having run out on that one, and that seems to progress normally it seems
----------------------------------------https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/contribution/workunit/750930364 The error on this quickly aborted WU states "can't get input file"... Ralf [Edit 1 times, last edit by TPCBF at Aug 3, 2025 5:54:35 PM] |

Hi!
----------------------------------------Are Krembil trying out not to use HR, see this wu: ARP1_002459_149 https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/contribution/workunit/747428315 _3 is mine! And a strange one: ARP1_0025673_149 Link: https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/contribution/workunit/748243394 I thought that anonymous platform did not work or should not be allowed?? Hans S.

looks like I got an ERROR ARP too...
----------------------------------------https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/contribution/workunit/750976340 this next one is interesting. It downloaded. started running and then server aborted. https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/contribution/workunit/749798059 never seen it abort a WU I've started already. I would have aborted it myself honestly as it is weird. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Unixchick at Aug 3, 2025 9:45:05 PM] |

Wow! -- quite a large number of reports, some of which seemed to have had "happy endings" (though I wonder if some of the reported validations can be trusted under the circumstances)...
The catalogue of various mismatched tasks and strange retry issues being listed here and in the "Work available" thread is beginning to look like signs of either database malfunction or corruption, or of some server hardware malfunction. In particular, it would seem really strange to have abandoned HR (heterogenous redundancy) for ARP1 given the strict data match criteria, and most especially allowing what appears to be an Anonymous Platform to run a task! It looks as if retries for some WUs have been force-cancelled because the system has realized that it can't use them (it sends a slightly different Abort notice to the client). I've had one of these (see below) and it would explain what Unixchick reported just above, though it doesn't explain why those retries went out in the first place... Here's the one I saw... WU 749436789 -- ARP1_0028094 _3 reported at 21:40:15 UTC, I asked for _5 at 21:40:48 UTC and it downloaded and started a couple of minutes later. However, the next contact with WCG produced the following three relevant entries in the BOINC log the next time it contacted WCG (this is the Server Abort happening)... Sun 03 Aug 2025 22:45:04 BST | World Community Grid | [error] garbage_collect(); still have active task for acked result ARP1_0028094_149_5; state 9 Note that state 9 is "Waiting to be sent" and state 5 is "Invalid" (which suggests that validation of the two Windows results had happened at that point and it had realized the two Linux retries would be unusable!) I do hope they'll tell us what has been going on, even if only via the Krembil WCG Operational Status tab... Cheers - Al |

Mine from when my linux PC downloaded a retry yesterday WU -- ARP1_0034000_149 _0 and _1 errored (Windows), _2 and _3 errored (Linux), _4 and _5 running (Linux) All errors are validation errors. The last two linux PC to download from this work unit were seemingly arbitrarily awarded with a status of Valid. Who knows what really happened here? (rhetorical question) |
