Posted 2 Nov 2020 by nairb Post: Well,well,well its a success. And it was still uploading the last 192meg file when it reached 100%. So I will try the new method of stopping the processing of w/u. I had worked with computers for endless years and always hated using the on/off switch to solve issues. But power cuts never seem to kill a climate w/u. Just luck I guess. Good idea to use top to check if the process really has cleared off. Lets hope the re-issued w/u work better when they arrive. |

Posted 2 Nov 2020 by nairb Post:
No,no, good question. I dident think to quit the client. So I just checked and the client_state.xml was as without the changes. So I quit the client................. made the changes again. and restarted. 2 other w/u error(ed) straight away and died. They had only!! been running a day or so. The w/u that is due to complete soon restarted ok. I rechecked the client_state.xml and the changes were still there. So I will have to redo the changes on 2 other machines again................ every time I suspend a job or restart boinc I seem to lose a w/u or 2. I now just pull the power core out. I will report the outcome of the remaining 877 with 1hr 10mins left to run The 2 failed w/u after the restart showed hadam4h_c0ds_206511_5_878_012030354_0 <core_client_version>7.16.6</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <message> process got signal 65</message> <stderr_txt> Signal 2 received: Interrupt Signal 2 received: Illegal instruction - invalid function image Signal 2 received: Floating point exception Signal 2 received: Segment violation Signal 2 received: Software termination signal from kill Signal 2 received: Abnormal termination triggered by abort call Signal 2 received, exiting... 20:14:24 (1310): called boinc_finish(193) Signal 2 received: Interrupt Signal 2 received: Illegal instruction - invalid function image Signal 2 received: Floating point exception Signal 2 received: Segment violation Signal 2 received: Software termination signal from kill Signal 2 received: Abnormal termination triggered by abort call Signal 2 received, exiting... 20:14:25 (983): called boinc_finish(193) </stderr_txt> along with loads of messages like 02-Nov-2020 20:32:07 [climateprediction.net] Output file hadam4h_c0ds_206511_5_878_012030354_0_r381159273_4.zip for task hadam4h_c0ds_206511_5_878_012030354_0 absent |

Posted 2 Nov 2020 by nairb Post: Well the fix had been applied to the client_state.xml. Both the max-nbytes & rsc_disk_bound. All those lines that needed changing. Maybe I made an error but the next w/u to finish just now also failed with.... <core_client_version>7.16.6</core_client_version> <![CDATA[ <stderr_txt> Suspended CPDN Monitor - Suspend request from BOINC... 19:06:44 (1926): called boinc_finish(0) </stderr_txt> <message> upload failure: <file_xfer_error> <file_name>hadam4h_b0ft_200911_5_877_012028747_0_r1809679561_5.zip</file_name> <error_code>-131 (file size too big)</error_code> </file_xfer_error> </message> ]]> There is another 877 due to finish in a couple of hrs. Followed by a bunch of 878's. I am beginning to think is not worth letting any of these w/u's to run. Maybe abort the entire lot and wait for a fixed batch. Little point in waiting 20(ish) days to find they fail as well...... |

Posted 2 Nov 2020 by nairb Post: Edit find and replace <max_nbytes>150000000.000000</max_nbytes> to <max_nbytes>300000000.000000</max_nbytes> and hitting replace all. should sort it. Its been done..... it does seem that only some w/u are affected. Better to find out its not a machine problem tho. Ta Nairb |

Posted 1 Nov 2020 by nairb Post: So I left the machine with 15 mins to go before completion on task hadam4h_b0tg_201211_5_877_012029238_0. When I returned it had failed with computation error. It says that the w/u returned 5 trickles. There was a street wide power failure a couple of weeks ago which shut the machine(s) down but all w/u's resumed ok. I have 3 more due to finish in the next day. It would be a shame if all failed the same way. I am beginning to suspect a shortage of disk space on this machine....... is this what the stderr_txt is actually trying to say??

Posted 22 Oct 2020 by nairb Post: For those who might be trying fedora 30.... I have finally got round to doing a minimal fedora 30 install. I usually go for the kde-plasma desktop gui. We all know how resource hungry some fedora spins can be. But its nice to have some of the gui tools. I checked my 80gig disk only to find its getting bit short of space with climate/einstein etc installed. So it was time to get back to basics. A min install + admin tools. And all you get is a command line. I use tigervnc & run boinc thru an xterm. All very simple ..... like it used to be. It now all fits in the corner of a 60gig disk. |

Posted 5 Oct 2020 by nairb Post:
I presume these will still require some 32bit libs and not the full blown 64bit jobbies. For linux w/u. I had better make sure the fedora 30 hard disk is plugged in. Assuming I am "lucky" to snare a w/u that is. |

Posted 23 Sep 2020 by nairb Post: One thing about these ARP tasks is that they can be suspended/stopped/re-started endless times without having a fit and dying with a computation error. Very endearing. |

Wow, Thanks for that info. I had not found those custom/home profiles per device. I now have as many ARP's as I want. With the demise of seti and sparse w/u here on cpdn, WCG has some interesting projects. Altho if seti had found a signal ............. still my favorite. |

Posted 17 Sep 2020 by nairb Post: And while weather rather than climate there is the Africa Rainfall Project with World Community Grid. And almost as difficult to get a w/u for. There are a few now and then........ and there does not seem to be a status page showing if there are w/u's to be had. Or have I missed it?. |

Posted 2 Sep 2020 by nairb Post: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor [Family 23 Model 113 Stepping 0] Out of interest whats the power consumption of this machine with all threads running. I still have a dual slot2 xeon machine... 700mhz. The lights used to dim when that was fired up. Gone are the days of cheap electricity. I think my I7 machine is about 26 quid a month to run. Thats English pounds......... |

Posted 6 Mar 2020 by nairb Post: Huuurrray....... after a month of effort and several fails along the way the machine has completed a w/u and the system says its "Outcome Success".................. all-tho the stderr_txt seems to say Segment violation??. Or was that from a previous w/u that failed. It did make it to 100% before completing. So it would seem that fedora 30 does work with the addition of a couple of libs. And its not wise to do a kernel update before the w/u completion. Oh, and if restarting then make sure the slots are ok. Hopefully the 2 remaining w/u will also play the game. |

Posted 2 Mar 2020 by nairb Post: Oh dear... I needed to restart the desktop. All of the 3 models resumed - then one failed with computing error. It had only been running for 3 days. But I checked how successful the remaining models had been with other computers. Gulp....... not one had been successful. I needed to restart the desktop machine after an software update which included changes/updates to the fc30 kernel. Maybe this is not a wise thing to do when a model has started. I doubt this is a fedora 30 problem tho. |

Posted 21 Feb 2020 by nairb Post: Thanks for the info. I was a bit lazy in not doing a ldd on all the executables. It turned out that the hadam4_se_8.52_i686-pc-linux-gnu.so exe was missing the lib - libnsl.so.1. I did notice that there was no data being uploaded during the trickle-up times but since the model did not crash I thought all was working ok. I aborted the other model at 84%. There was little point in letting it finish and fail. I have started the 3rd model and will watch and see at 25% if there is data produced to be uploaded. I suppose I could have followed the instruction on using Ubuntu but I have used Fedora from the beginning.... starting with redhat 5.2 and on to fedora 4...... I still have machines with those o/s on. Fedora seems to be ok with several of the other boinc projects. Fingers crossed for the next model............. |

Posted 19 Feb 2020 by nairb Post: So at 99.81% complete I was getting ready for a celebration..... I wander off for a couple of hrs and when I return the blasted w/u had error-ed. It looks like one of the libs was missing. The error was libnsl.so.1 was missing. I wonder how many more are missing as well. A quick yum install found and installed the lib. I turns out it has no-longer been included in fedora since release 28. Shame I had to wait 16 odd days to find out. So anybody using fedora 30 needs to install this lib also. (libnsl.so.1) not sure if I should look for a 32bit version as well. In a couple of days the second w/u should finish....... lets hope it finished as it should |

Posted 7 Feb 2020 by nairb Post: Yup, just after 25% the first model produced a trickle up. It will be interesting to see how much faster an 4 core I5 cpu will be. It still seems fine for memory. Very little swap space used. Now its fingers crossed the model does not crash. |

Posted 5 Feb 2020 by nairb Post: So far it is on course to do a w/u in 16 days. I have let 2 models run at once. And some seti w/u also. I does slow down will all 4 logical running. The m/b will take an I5 cpu with 4 cores, so I will update to one of these. And in the meantime just run the 2 climate models. At 20% there are still no trickle up's. But this test was to see if Fedora 30 would run the 32 bit apps. This is the last version of fedora that will support 32 bits. But it should be good for a few years. Fedora 30 does run seti, einstein & rosetta fine. So far its doing good on climate also. |
