Posted 11 May 2021 by infinitejones Post: OK, thanks v much. I'm running under an Account Manager so I can't directly choose which NFS apps I run, but I'll check whether the person who runs the pool can adjust it for us. |

16e tasks frequently fail for me, with Computation Error - across multiple PCs and OSes

Posted 10 May 2021 by infinitejones Post: I run NFS on a number of different machines, primarily MacOS and Linux. I've been seeing a high number of failing tasks on all of them, particular 16e tasks - "Computation Error" within the first couple of minutes. I've seen a couple of other posts about this in this forum, but no real indication of what's going on or how to prevent it. Given that I'm seeing it across multiple machines and OSes, I'm fairly confident it's not environment-specific on my side. Here's an example from today - Boinc 7.16.14 on MacOS 10.15.7, on a Mac mini. Updates to Boinc and MacOS don't seem to have any impact on the volume or frequency of the failing tasks.  In the time it's taken me to write this post, the single non-failed task has progressed to 12.5% quite happily. I do run other projects on all machines where I'm seeing this, and I don't see frequently failing tasks for any of those. For what it's worth, the other machines where I see frequent failures have been running either Ubuntu or Debian (latest versions of either, plus latest Boinc for those OSes). I don't have NFS running on any of them currently, though, because of the high volume of failed tasks. What can I do to investigate and resolve these problems? Edit: the img tag of my screenshot seems to be failing. Here's the URL: https://imgur.com/a/43Pi8su |
