CPDN don't abort tasks from the server. They used to do it years ago but users complained.

It is not CPDN policy to remotely abort workunits on volunteer computers.

1/22/2024 9:07:45 AM	[error] Error reported by file upload server: [wah2_eas25_n1z2_201412_24_1002_012238572_0_r1345862682_out.zip] locked by file_upload_handler PID=2762255	

Other projects don't use these same impossible rules.

I can't remember which but at least one other project does. I don't know enough about BOINC server to say whether it is possible to turn this feature on for some task types and not others but given the issue with the missing libraries problem for Linux tasks, even when the number of resends was upped to five, there were still a lot of tasks going to hard fail because of machines that crash everything.

The server side rules for this need to be modified. Other projects don't use these same impossible rules.

I disagree - the rule protects the server from wasting time sending out tasks to a machine likely to break the next one. It doesn't matter if it's the task's fault, the point is it's better off sending the next task to another machine.

Now a few of my computers according to the error log are limited to a quota of 1 task for the day. I don't believe my computers are the issue. I believe a batch of bad tasks are what put me in this position. Any way to fix this?

The limitation will be lifted once your boxes return some completed tasks.

Worth noting, unlike past practice with CPDN these have a 3 month deadline rather than a year or more.

The max number of connections to the Korean upload server has been increased from 256 to 1000. At the time Andy@CPDN made the change there were 116 active connections. IT in Korea are investigating further and I'll report back if they find anything.

The IT guy in Korea is keen to find out why people are having problems. So again, it's getting looked at. Korea are a new server for CPDN.

For 'stuck' files, what is the retry number people are getting?

FWIW, I have 7 zips that cannot upload. "transient HTTP error"

Andy's just informed me that he's restarted the httpd server on the Korean machine. It was running & not out of space, but rather alot of uploads and most likely stale connections. Hope that's got stuck uploads moving again.

If it misbehaves again, pls post it here.
