Message 958065 - Posted: 22 Dec 2009, 9:33:23 UTC


I have been having constant lockfile errors and after three days of trying to find a solution and have not come across anything that helps. I am now asking here.

As far as I can tell I am only running 1 instance of boinc and I don't know what to do about this.

this is the error message I find.

Thanks for any help.

Did you try a reboot? [edit]Please post the first 20 or so lines from your Messages tab here after a reboot.[/edit]

What is the setting in your preferences for "Use at most -- percent of CPU time"?

What AV program do you use? Did you exclude the BOINC data directory from AV scanning?

Gruß,
Gundolf

Hi Yep I rebooted. Here is the messages.
I allocated 30% cpu time and I am running CA security as an anti virus, don't usually have any issues with it.

thanks

Message 958103 - Posted: 22 Dec 2009, 15:28:28 UTC - in response to Message 958092.  

The CPU-throttling (allowing less than 100% of CPU time) sometimes causes those problems.

So, try setting your preferences to
On multiprocessors, use at most 50 % of the processors 
Enforced by version 6.1+
Use at most 100 percent of CPU time 
(Can be used to reduce CPU heat)


That results in an effective usage of 50% of your system, in case you did throttle to avoid overheating issues.

Gundolf

Are you using local preferences? If so, check that they have the same values as the online ones, because local preferences override the online ones.
