Problems with Restart and Hibernation

Are there any problems with the restart of BOINC. I have several errors and Inconclusive after restarting and comming back from Hibernation.

Any hints ?

And why is this comming ? I have 1GB set as maximum ?

Re: Problems with Restart and Hibernation

Had exactly the same 50mb error a while back. The response was that the particular WU had been compiled with too low an allowance for diskspace usage, nothing to do with your HD! Advice just to get on with the next one.

Re: Problems with Restart and Hibernation

That's a slightly more unusual error.

What you're seeing is, each work unit has a built-in disk limit, in addition (and smaller than) the overall BOINC limit. This stops one work unit eating all the space, and (in this case) the work unit isn't supposed to create such large temporary files.

It is perfectly possible that the hibernation has conflicted with BOINC, and corrupted the data, leading to a large out of control error log using up all the space. This would be consistent with the error occurring a few minutes after the work unit was resumed.

Take a look at the work unit folder, and see what files are there, and note any very large files. Of course, the work unit folder may have been cleaned up by now.

Personally, I don't find hibernation useful. It is faster to shutdown and restart properly, without running any risk of corruption. However, if you can reproduce this, then it should definitely be looked into further by the WCG techs. Keep an eye on it, and if it happens again have a look at the actual file that grew too large.

Re: Problems with Restart and Hibernation

The space Problem occurs after restarting BOINC after a system restart.

Thanks for all information.

I see nothing special in the workunit folder:

Re: Problems with Restart and Hibernation

Hibernation....here in the land of unstable electricity, the Standby option is experienced as 'The' solution, not hybing. Takes about 5 seconds to shut down and 15 to get back to where i was. The PSU provides sufficient standby juice to maintain that RAM state for a long long time.

Re: Problems with Restart and Hibernation

For reference, running work units keep their files in the slot folders, e.g. C:\Program Files\BOINC\slots\0

It will be cleaned out for the next work unit by now, but that's where the interesting stuff will be should it happen again.

Re: Problems with Restart and Hibernation

Thanks for the information. Nothing special in the C:\Program Files\BOINC\slots\0 folder.

Regarding Hibernation, it seems that the files not found happens often after comming back from hibernation:

Re: Problems with Restart and Hibernation

No, that's perfectly normal. It's just looking for files to see if it needs to restart from a checkpoint, or whether it should start at the beginning. All your FAAH work units will log something similar to this.

BOINC allows the project to set a limit on each workunit that causes the workunit to abort if the amount of disk used by the workunit exceeds this threshold. It prevents an application from running amok and dumping out tons of data if something goes wrong.

You got this message becuase we set the limit for FightAIDS@Home at 50000000. However there have been about 30 workunits (out of around 10,000's that we have run) that needed more disk space then this. All new FightAIDS@Home batches on BOINC now are now set to 75000000 (there are still a few old ones going through though).

We apologize for the problem.
