which leads me to search and find task below

Strangeness on both these tasks shows more than the usual quorum members, plus at least one not being part of the quorum.

@Richard and @AgentB: this

@Richard and @AgentB: this was the first thing that I noticed when I checked herna's file which was already reported by another user. I already know where to investigate and the two samples from AgentB and herna are a good help in that.

I'll keep you posted how my investigation goes.

Einstein computer ID of the stuck upload task is 11711041. It's a Linux 3.13.0-37-generic (Mint) with Boinc 7.2.42 64-bit hosted as a virtual machine inside Windows 10 64-bit, most of the times with 2 Gb RAM and 7 or 8 cores. The guest Windows installation runs BRP6 ATI tasks, both run wuprop nci tasks alsongside.
The task is still shown as uploading, while _0 and _1 result files have uploaded, _2 returns the "length of file 0 bytes" error message.

I now know what must have

I now know what must have happened but still not why. It seems that a small amount of tasks was assigned to two hosts at the same time. There are several checks on the server to prevent two work requests that are handled at the same time to issue the same tasks to two different hosts. It seems all of those checks failed to detect this case (for an unknown reason). I now added another check that should prevent such a case based on what we currently see in the logfiles (but still not the root cause). If this works can only be seen when the server is again under heavy load (hint: this will be the case later this week).

I'll shortly deploy a patch to the file upload handler so everyone who is affected by this can upload the surplus result files.
