Howdy,

I've had a couple of WUs that have got to 100% but not officially completed in BOINC manager.

I have to force them to complete by suspending other tasks and then I get a computation error.

Both have a "Finish file present too long" error.

Really annoying as the latter had run for over 20 hours.

Any ideas. I'm just running this project and TN-Grid

Hello,
I have the same problem "finish file present too long" on host 7008. Three tasks have ended as error : 317020990, 317020779, 317019802. What could be the cause of the error ? Is there a way to validate these wus ?
Thanking you.

After the WU was finished the client restarted the same WU so the outputfile was bigger than expected. this is a boinc client issue and with Win10 it can be happened more than on Win7. Validating is not possible due the error check.

Thanks for the quick reply. On this host, tasks are not keeped in memory. Maybe is it a track to follow ?
Cheers

I've just had a spate of these too: tasks 369874004 369942166 369942164 369942126 370637112 370637098 370656663 which is 7 out of the last 20. I *do* have the "Leave application in memory while suspended" enabled on this host.

Is there any known workaround?

On my computer with Ryzen 3950X running on CentOS 8 the same problem.
When running more than 16 threads the error occur, when reducing the count of threads to 16 all WUs will be done without error. I have tested it with Riesel Base - Short.
On other computers with Ryzen 3700X, same OS the WUs running fine on all 16 threads.

I set the BIOS of the computer to default values, no D.O.C.P. and boost overdrive disabled - the same error occure if more than 16 threads used.

Hi JayPi,

please keep in mind that boinc fixes a client error "finish file present too long" in version 7.16.5 (released at 25.02.2020).

https://wiki.bc-team.org/index.php?title=7.16.5

Your client on CentOS running on 7.14.2, maybe you can get a newer version for this os.

Regards Odi
