My computer seti-mm-05 is acting strangely in reporting work done, I think. I'm a bit confused here. It's been stuck at 990 credit for over a week now but it's definitely been doing work and reporting. For example for Task 4007635808, Workunit 1722118309 reported here: Sun 8 Mar 13:30:49 2015 | SETI@home | Computation for task 14fe13aa.10710.8252.438086664203.12.186_1 finished Sun 8 Mar 13:30:51 2015 | SETI@home | Started upload of 14fe13aa.10710.8252.438086664203.12.186_1_0 Sun 8 Mar 13:30:55 2015 | SETI@home | Finished upload of 14fe13aa.10710.8252.438086664203.12.186_1_0 It shows up in 'Validation pending' now, but soon will disappear from there and... nothing. I'm not sure how to make sense of this as I don't really know if it's the back end database issues affecting things. Can anyone see any smoking guns? ~W |

For the record, it was created at the same time as seti-mm-01 to 06 and therefore should have a similar credit of ±9,000. ~W |

Half it's work has been set as Abandoned, so it's problably been crunching Abandoned work: Error tasks for computer 7511430 Reset the project, you'll get resent work back that hasn't already been abandoned.

Well that's the weird thing, I didn't abandon any work on the host but suddenly a bunch turned up as being marked abandoned. I thought if a work unit was marked as abandoned the host would report it as being abandoned and the back end would re-assign it to someone else but that the abandoning host wouldn't then crunch it How might I be crunching abandoned workings then? Do you think abandoning all the workunits and requesting a complete new batch would help matters? I don't quite want to go there (or re-installing BOINC) yet until I understand what might be causing it in the first place. ~W |

Well that's the weird thing, I didn't abandon any work on the host but suddenly a bunch turned up as being marked abandoned. The server can mark work abandoned if it receives requests from the client in the wrong order, it can happen if a request is delayed getting to the scheduler, the client times out it's request, then asks again a minute or so later, gets work, then the original request gets through, and the server abandons the work from request 2 and before. Just Reset the project, No need to Detach/Reattach (or Remove/Add project), or Reinstall Boinc. Claggy |

Resetting the project on the host certainly seems to have done the trick. Thanks Claggy. ~W |
