Looking further, it seems some WUs failed claiming insufficient space (totally not true, either in BOINC settings or otherwise), unless they mean on the server, but umm...kinda doubt it

WTF?

BTW, I just looked at some of those WUs further...and it looks like something is going on server side, which the project admins might want to look into. In any case, my daily quota is still exceeded. What I noticed however, is that EVERYBODY who received these WUs had the same problem...

Yes, we've found a problem with our application, where it will fail on some WU for the file H1_0849.4 and H1_848,9. We'll be releasing a new app soon that fixes this.
I'm not so concerned about this bug, because these jobs fail as soon as they start. So they don't waste any significant CPU time on your system.

I suppose that after a new

I suppose that after a new app is released, these WUs can be processed then. Actually, at first I was trying to figure out what might have suddenly gone wrong on my machine, until I noticed the results were unsuccesful for practically everyone...
But would they be a way to suspend the sending of these WUs, or make them less frequent...as the limits on WUs one is allowed to download in a day could result in people being unable to get work if one gets several of these WUs one after another?

Good point. We're just about done with testing the new app, so please stand by. We should have this resolved in the next couple of days.

thx BTW, should I and others
)
thx BTW, should I and others who are having this problem suspend E@H until the new app is released so we can start crunching when it's released? Or will those of us who ran into this problem be given somewhat of a concession (as it wasn't our computer in particular which had gone awry) so we can d/l the new app and WUs, or what should we do in the mean time?
Dipping my oar in where it
)
Dipping my oar in where it was not requested ...
As Bruce said, the WU fail, and they fail pretty early so that this is not a signivicant issue. So, to answer the question, just keep connected to the project and all will be well.
We are detecting issues with both the BOINC Manager and with the science applications at a good clip, this should be seen as a good thing ...
Just a short year ago, we were testing in the BOINC Beta test and my lord what problems ...
OK, this is what I'm asking.
)
OK, this is what I'm asking. Yes I know they're failing early, and yes that's a good thing. But there are quoatas in place to prevent one from continuing to d/l WUs when one isn't able to process a given WU. This applies regardless of whether the reason is something up with the person's computer or the science app itself.
BTW, the quota that my computer is allowed to recieve has been decreased from 3 WUs a day, to just one, and it *might* have been higher then 3 at the beginning of this, but it was never 1 hitherto. Does seem to be falling. Every WU I've gotten over the past day and a half or so, has been one of these, and the servers are penalizing my comp for it... Yes it fails early, but it's causing a secondary problem with the servers quotas...
I'm also asking about suspending temporarily (something that BOINC CC 4.25 (and also every version of the dev branch which I used since 4.62) has, not detatching. It's also something I did when SETI's servers went down so my comp wasn't constantly sending out requests for WUs when it needed, and I knew there was no server (according to their status page) to receive the requests...
In essence, should I temporarily suspend, so that when a note is up that the new app is out, I can connect, receive the new science app (fix to this given problem), and get back to processing? Or when it's out will something be done server side, so those of us who are being denied WU d/ls because of this failure, can d/l the fixed app (aka the fix to the underlying problem) and continue from there? As it stands now, the server is decreasing my daily quota, and refusing to send work in an increasing fashion, as I'm gathering it is setup to do, for cases where the user's computer has gone bad (not exactly the cause in this case)...
Anyone else running into
)
Anyone else running into this, a possible fix till the new app gets out:
- Stop BOINC
- clear out the E@H projects foulder (including the dat file) (btw, I did a project reset before doing this, it was suspended if that would make a difference)
- Reconnect, one should get a new series of WUs...
