1) Message boards : News : New Nbody version 1.46 (Message 62895) Posted 27 Dec 2014 by Peter Post: de_nbody_12_20_orphan_sim_2_1413455402_1485127_0 now up to 51+ hours, apparently most of that apparently after reaching 100% complete (I haven't checked every day, unfortunately). Similar jobs (de_nbody with the same 10-digit serial number) are listed as requiring ~1 hour to complete. I will abort this job, and hope the problem is fixed in the near future. I have had similar problems before, but hoped the new version 1.46 had fixed them. BTW it would help to show the specific job failing if one could copy and paste from the BOINC Tasks listing, which I was unable to do. Best regards Pete k5gm@amsat.org
2) Message boards : News : Separation Modified Fit v1.28 Release (Message 60130) Posted 8 Oct 2013 by Peter Post: Modfit 1.28 generates "computation error" immediately. 4 data sets downloaded this afternoon; all quit immediately. Also have had similar results in the past week or so. Running Win XP all updates, Core2 Duo. Also running Rosetta and Seti with few/no problems. For now will remove Modfit from list of problem types accepted.
3) Message boards : News : update for users not getting CPU workunits (Message 58931) Posted 17 Jun 2013 by Peter Post: Well,I guess I got my wish. I just received, on June 17 2:35 P.M. CDT, a job that says it will take 1360 hours on an Intel I5-3570 under Windows 8 64-bit (different machine), and is due on June 29! 1360 hours is ~57 days!!! Soemone's scheduling algorithm needs an attitude adjustment! Thanks for reading. Pete k5gm@amsat.org
4) Message boards : News : update for users not getting CPU workunits (Message 58928) Posted 17 Jun 2013 by Peter Post: No new CPU (Windows 32-bit) work units received since June 10. Problem supposedly fixed on June 13, but apparently not! What is the status of fix? 6/17/2013 12:26:37 PM \| Milkyway@Home \| update requested by user 6/17/2013 12:26:42 PM \| Milkyway@Home \| Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. 6/17/2013 12:26:42 PM \| Milkyway@Home \| Requesting new tasks for CPU 6/17/2013 12:26:43 PM \| Milkyway@Home \| Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 6/17/2013 12:26:43 PM \| Milkyway@Home \| No tasks sent Machines are keeping busy with other BOINC projects.

5) Message boards : Number crunching : Disk space requestunsatisfied (Message 49759) Posted 29 Jun 2011 by Peter Post: Thank you, Werkstatt. That (upgrading to 6.12.33) seems to have solved the problem (at least so far!). I just wonder what the glitch was.
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Disk space requestunsatisfied (Message 49660) Posted 28 Jun 2011 by Peter Post: Still having the same problem with MW@Home: Requests for additional disk space (14 MB, 50 MB) are refused, even though BOINC itself shows 17.6 GB (not MB) free of the 20 GB allocated to BOINC. The exact message is 6/26/2011 10:19:42 PM \| Milkyway@home \| Message from server: MilkyWay@Home N-Body Simulation needs 50.00MB more disk space. You currently have 0.00 MB available and it needs 50.00 MB. 6/26/2011 10:19:42 PM \| Milkyway@home \| Message from server: MilkyWay@Home needs 14.31MB more disk space. You currently have 0.00 MB available and it needs 14.31 MB. Is this message from MW or from BOINC? The message above repeats once.

Does anyone else see similar messages? Thanks. Pete
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Disk space requestunsatisfied (Message 49270) Posted 13 Jun 2011 by Peter Post: Are you certain that it does not say leave at least 20GB free on disk? If this is a dedicated drive for nothing but BOINC, change the option to only keep 1GB free instead. NO. It is not a dedicated disk for Boinc. There is another 120 GB currently unused. Please note that BOINC knows about the space: My disk tab on BOINC v.6.12.26 (x64) says 2.60GB allocated, 17.40 GB available.
8) Message boards : Number crunching : Disk space requestunsatisfied (Message 49268) Posted 13 Jun 2011 by Peter Post: I have allocated 20 GB of disk space on the machine running MW@home (an Intel i5 running win7-64), but received a message that requests for 14 and for 50 MB were not possible to satisfy. My disk tab on BOINC v.6.12.26 (x64) says 2.60GB allocated, 17.40 GB available. I am running MW@home, Climate Prediction by the BBC (the main disk space user), and Seti@home, which also requested more space and was refused. Any suggestions?
