I got this error in an almost completed workunit. Can you explain why it occurred? Did LHC@Home lose all the work or are there inner jobs that had been uploaded while elaborating?

The hearbeat file was missing so the job quit.

Looks like you did work fine but you just got no credit.

last night, a LHCb task failed after 13 hours, which is annoying.

Exit status 194 (0x000000C2) EXIT_ABORTED_BY_CLIENT

obviously, there was no heartbeat, whatever this means:

2018-01-10 03:41:49 (864): VM Heartbeat file specified, but missing heartbeat.
2018-01-10 03:41:49 (864): Powering off VM.


The task is:

Can anyone explain to me how come?

It means that something went wrong with the VM. The heartbeat mechanism is there to protect against situations where the VM may freeze. Usually this is during the boot process but occasionally it can happen later.
