Message 1627853 - Posted: 15 Jan 2015, 8:27:58 UTC

I just noticed I am getting lots of WUs (239) marked as Invalid with the status of "Completed, marked as invalid" or "Completed, can't validate" on both of my crunchers. Almost all of them in the last few days (since Jan. 11, to be precise).

I have made no h/w or s/w changes to my systems at all.

Is there some new problem I am not aware of?

I'll try to look at that later, Bernie.

Meanwhile, over the same dates (1/10 - 1/15) I also had 80 Inconclusives.

BTW - Inconclusives and Invalids were almost all GPU WUs. Only a handful of CPUs.

A quick glance shows the invalid tasks starting with 19ap11ad, so I would say yes, it's the same issue as many of us have encountered. I recommend continuing your conversation in the thread Bernie provided.
