1) Message boards : Theory Application : 196 (0x000000C4) EXIT_DISK_LIMIT_EXCEEDED - how come? (Message 38989)

Post:
here the next one:

https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=230730782

it's really annoying that no-one from LHC is willing or able to give an answer the the question
what's the use for LHC to send out thousand of faulty tasks? What exactly is the benefit the science?
Could someone logically explain?


Sorry to say, but all software here from my professional point of view are made in garage, so speaking.
Scientific calculation on Python is not good idea, for example.
The tasks are too fragile and fail on any temporary issue - internet down, transient http error, etc.
Atlas tasks receive close to half of gigs amount of data(it's ok, raw data) but why it send almost the same amount of data as result?

Please don't hesitate to correct me if I'm wrong.

I've followed the advice to change the kernel but an application was still failing.
Looking more attentively to the error message("singularity is not found") I decided to recreate "boinc" user from the scratch. That did the magic and now native application is working fine.
My guess - something was wrong in boinc user PATH or something like that.
Thanks for advice now I'm happy again.

I have set up a virtual machine with Linux Mint 17.3 and singularity also did not work with the default kernel. I then updated the kernel from the default 3.19 to 4.4.0 generic, and now singularity with the "singularity --debug exec ..." command works. So it is propably something with the default kernel that singularity does not like.
My uname -a output is: Linux testing-VirtualBox 4.4.0-98-generic #121~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 11 11:54:55 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


Thank you very much.
I'll try to update Linux kernel shortly.

Post:
Have you run the command "sudo make install" after compiling singularity?
Can you run singularity with your default user (i.e. with a different user than boinc)?
Which version of singularity do you use? Type "singularity --version" into your terminal and please post the output.
Which OS are you running? It shows Linux 3.19, current Debian is using 4.9.0 and olstable Debian is using 3.16 (the guide has only been tested on Debian stretch, but singularity obviously should work on other OS's as well). So please post the output of "uname -a" here as well.


Thank you for your time.
Yes, I run this command as I can see from history:
git clone https://github.com/sylabs/singularity.git
394 cd singularity
395 go get -u -v github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep
396 cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/sylabs/singularity
397 ./mconfig
398 cd ./builddir
399 make
400 singularity --version
401 sudo make install
402 singularity --version

I can run singularity as default user:
sid@j1900c ~ $ singularity

Linux container platform optimized for High Performance Computing (HPC) and
Enterprise Performance Computing (EPC)
....
And I can run it as root too.
The version is:
sid@j1900c ~ $ singularity --version
singularity version v3.0.0

Regarding Linux - I am running Linux Mint:
sid@j1900c ~ $ uname -a
Linux j1900c 3.19.0-32-generic #37~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 22 09:41:40 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Probably this is the root cause of the issue.

I was following the very good gyllic's guide to install everything I need to run ATLAS native.
However all WUs have failed with the following error message:
This is not SLC6, need to run with Singularity....

Singularity is not installed, aborting

For sure, singularity is installed:
$ sudo su - boinc
$ singularity

.....

Moreover if I try to check singularity manually by command:
singularity exec --debug -B /cvmfs /cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch/repo/images/singularity/x86_64-slc6.img hostname
I'm getting the following output along with the error:

Did you follow gyllic's guide?

Be aware that ATLAS native is still beta and depending on your local environment it can be a bit tricky to get it running.


In addition you may consider to make your hosts visible for other volunteers as the logs sometimes contain important hints:

Thank you.
Yes, I did follow this guide step by step - good guide, BTW.
I made my computers visible so other volunteers. Hope it helps to understand the root cause of my issue.

The same is under the root.

This is not perfect word as we all know.
Sometimes an internet connection might go down for a short fraction of a time.
However it is not an excuse to abort a WU that was crunching for long hours.
Why not just to repeat an attempt given number of times with a given timeout?

Couple of my Atlas tasks have finished with error message "Exit status 196 (0x000000C4) EXIT_DISK_LIMIT_EXCEEDED"
I've plenty of a disk space on the host machine and allowed up to 95% disk space for Boinc.
What might be the reason of the failure ?

One of a Atlas task didn't pass validation so I looked inside the stderr file:

Why it's stuttering?
Two other tasks on the same computer have finished and were validated successfully.

Thank you for the very interesting reference.

I have couple of 16/24 cores computers. I'd like to enforce Atlas application to use almost all of them - say, 14 cores or 22 depending of a host. However, I'm receiving only 8C WUs. Is it kind of limit for Atlas? I've enough RAM and I have set everything I have found on preference pages to maximum except number of CPUs.

This page?

https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/prefs.php?subset=project

There is an "Edit preferences" link at the bottom.

Since you say "Sixtrack preferences" I suspect you are attached to the old project?

My mistake
Thank you for the quick answer.
For some unknown for me reason I was using old URL http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/prefs.php?subset=project

Just can't. I can see approximately a half of a usual page - no any way to modify anything. Page looks like:
Sixtrack preferences

Resource share
Determines the proportion of your computer's resources allocated to this project. Example: if you participate in two BOINC projects with resource shares of 100 and 200, the first will get 1/3 of your resources and the second will get 2/3. %2
20
Use CPU
Enforced by version 6.10+

Run test applications?
This helps us develop applications, but may cause jobs to fail on your computer

Is it OK for Sixtrack and your team (if any) to email you?
Should Sixtrack show your computers on its web site?
Default computer location ---


That's all. No any controls. Nothing more.
I've tried couple different explorers on couple of computers.
