When I look at the pending tasks in my profile I notice one attributed to my Windows-BOINC supposedly 'belonging' to the FAMOUS-application and 'deadlining' later this month. However, that one is nowhere to be found in my BOINC-manager, so naturally, it shows no trickles either and will exceed the deadline with no response. Can't abort, restart, or do anything with a WU I don't have. Anyone who can shed any light on how this task managed to sneak into my profile and if anything can be done about it? |

These 'phantom' tasks appear from time to time, particularly when the server is under heavy load. Seems like a BOINC bug to me, but the alternative of implementing a reliable handshaking protocol is generally thought to be worse in practice. There's nothing that can be done at your end. PS There's also a 'Show all tasks | Show active tasks' button in BOINC Manager. That sometimes makes people think that tasks have disappeared when in fact the tasks have been downloaded OK. |
