I noticed a strange behaviour of LHC in some WUs:
computation reaches 90-95% (40 min)...
boinc switches trough other projects...
when the computation of the previous Lhc WU restarts, it starts from 0% (0 min)....

the client isn't saving progress of the WU (in fact BoincLogX shows no progress - 0.00%)

The problem seems to be that the state isn't being kept in client_state.xml. I've noticed this happening over the last few days on windows, and has not worked on linux since the "relaunch".

While "keep in memory" is a short term fix, all will be lost if you need to shutdown boinc or reboot.

Overall, the progress for a linux client can't bee seen, and the WU could be a "runaway" as reported elsewhere here, on PP, and Einstine.

BYW, LHC also seems to ignore the "least atleast x gb free" when uploading Wu's..
