1) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Workunit "stuck" in the middle of calculation. (Message 46868) Posted 25 Aug 2013 by Letharion Post: Thank you for your replies. :) I checked, and everything already appeared to be owned by boinc, which is correct, since it's installed from repo. I ran chown anyway, just to be sure, restarted, and tried again. Unfortunately that didn't help, so the task was aborted. While I could mess with the swap settings, that doesn't seem like much of a solution. Especially since this is on a SSD drive, sluggish disk response should be the least of my concerns. I'll just not run this project on that particular system until the issue gets a permanent fix.
2) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Workunit "stuck" in the middle of calculation. (Message 46861) Posted 24 Aug 2013 by Letharion Post: I have a workunit, that's been stuck at 24.944% for a very long time. Every time I start the computer up, the WU is at 24.944%, and 134 hours. Today I left it running 12 hours straight. Hours predictably increased to 146, but the % was still the same. Rebooting my computer, the WU is still at the same %, and goes back to 134 elapsed hours. Should I just abort the task? Any idea what's wrong. This isn't the first time this has happened to me, previously I assumed it was a one time thing and didn't post here, but now that it recurred, I figured it might be useful to get some input.
