Message 832768 - Posted: 21 Nov 2008, 8:43:26 UTC

Hello, strange things happen to one (linux) of my boinc clients.

Compute start but progress is freezed to 0 %.

Ex: 16 hours of cpu time but 0.00 progress ...

How is it possible? I still runnig other boinc/linux&winzoz boxes with no problems.

Any help is apreciated

If you're talking about this pc I've noticed an error in this task Exit status -177 (0xffffffffffffff4f), and from what I've been reading has to do with maximum disk usage exceeded or Maximum memory usage exceeded (check the messages tab for more information) Check your disk/memory usage settings in your general preferences online and in your BOINC Manager settings.

Also could mean maximum CPU time exceeded. The maximum granted CPU time for a work unit is exceeded, probably a stuck work unit. The science application is aborted. If a work unit gets stuck, exiting and restarting BOINC is a known work around to fix this (if it's not already aborted)

Also if you're using the cpu throtle function that has been known to cause problems in multi cpu systems. In your settings for processor usage you should have "Use at most cpu time" set to 100%
