This HadCM3 model blew with the following BM messages:

All of my wingmen\'s models also blew on this one.

Sorry, all of the current files are gone since the model reported.

I know this is a vague error message. In the future, what particular information would be helpful to you in debugging? I can set CPDN to \"no new tasks\" in attempt to preserve the files.

The \"stderr out\" text is usually enough to tell whether there\'s a model problem - \"negative pressure\" and so on. However, the text for your model ends with the incomprehensible:

Model crashed: 

Model crashed: 

Model crashed: 

Model crashed: 

Model crashed: 

Model crashed: 
Sorry, too many model crashes! :-(
called boinc_finish

This does at least say that the model had six attempts at recovering, which is normal, but none of them succeeded in circumventing the problem.

When there appears to be a BOINC problem, then there are debugging flags that can be set in cc_config.xml. Here\'s mine (with red for the extra debugging):

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
<task>1</task>
<file_xfer>1</file_xfer>
<sched_ops>1</sched_ops>
<checkpoint_debug>1</checkpoint_debug>
</log_flags>
<options>
<save_stats_days>90</save_stats_days>
</options>
</cc_config>

However, the material in \'stderr out\' comes from the science application rather than BOINC itself, and there\'s no way that I know of increasing its verbosity.

Thanks, Iain. I\'ve added those flags to my xml file.
