41) Questions and Answers : Windows : vm_image.vdi Not Being Deleted by VirtualBox When Task is Completed (Message 34577)
Posted 11 Mar 2018 by Profile rbpeake
Post:
On one of my machines, I have to manually delete the vm_image.vdi of those virtual machines that have completed, reported their work units, and shut down, but they still remain listed with a yellow exclamation point (!) on the virtual hard disk list. My other 2 machines do not have this problem, and only show active vm_image.vdi files.

Is there some setting I am missing?

Thanks!

There was discussion at some point of having a BOINC option to run longer work units that were being issued to the other computer centers. I guess there were some issues uncovered and it was never pursued further, but it worked well for me. It seemed like an efficient way to run.

The HTcondor update was around 1300 UTC, so it looks like you got caught across it. I'm not expert enough to speculate exactly what happened; I've been assured that any jobs caught up like that will be resubmitted, but it's a pity you didn't get credit for your CPU time.

No problem, thanks for the explanation!

The Project Status Page Shows "0" for ATLAS (and some other projects as well).

What does this mean?

I see plenty of Atlas tasks now.

I'm optimistically hopeful that it will be fixed on Monday. Meanwhile, crunching other LHC projects, although today I was having problems with LHCb, so switched everything to Theory.

And if I received LHCb work randomly if there were no ATLAS work, my computers would freeze because the combined units require more memory than is available. So having a setting specifying which backup projects you want would work best. Thanks!

This was recently posted in the LHCb forum:

LHCb do not pre-select jobs to be sent to the community, you pick-up jobs from the same 'queue' as all other sites.


Will this ever be true for ATLAS? That would seem to minimize the risk of running out of tasks for BOINC.

Thanks!!

All my Atlas tasks validate on the Linux box even if not having the HITS file. All my Atlas tasks are invalidated on the Windows 10 PC despite it having a more modern AMD CPU and three times its RAM.

I find I need to run Atlas by itself. It did not do well when I was also running Einstein@home.

Post:
How would I know if it hung or long task, I normally abort them if they are 1 day and 99%

From the initial post:
To know if you are running one of these tasks and that it's not a regular "longrunner" you can check the stderr.txt in the slots directory - if it shows "Starting ATLAS job. (PandaID=xxx taskID: taskID=10959636)" then you got one. The regular tasks have taskID=10947180.
