No, we experience some issues with the storage yesterday and today. A few hundred WUs have been impacted.
It is also possible that some unstable molecules do not reach the end of the calculation, especially with the od9 series.


Are you granting credits on a per task basis?, some of them reports as validation error but still have credit.

Checkpoints are impossible, but unsuspendable tasks are a concern...
VM solve these 2 issues, but has a lot of other drawbacks


Ok, i've installed VBox 6.0.. boinc still downloads native linux app, how can i force it to download the VM version?

Hi,

i've run into the same issue, tasks doesn't respect cpu usage either, it keeps at 100% all the time no matter the configuration settings.

Balanced cpu usage is critical to boinc success, if a task consumes CPU cycles i need to work then it becomes a resource hog and nobody likes them.

I hope you find the problem and correct it, also checkpoints will be a great feature with such a long WU... but respecting cpu usage seems more important at the time.

Regards.
