Atlas Event Progress Monitor in RDP is now correct, Thank you.


That applies only to these long 1000 event tasks. For the short ones with 400 events, the monitoring does not work right.

This problem you are seeing is currently happening to everybody for CMS tasks (only tasks available from LHC@home at the moment). See more from here: https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/forum_thread.php?id=5631&postid=49503#49503 There's nothing you can do about it. Just set No New Tasks and follow the forums and server status page to see when situation changes.

Going down again. Server will be out of tasks to send before the day is done if nothing will change before that.

Post:
Have you checked Virtualbox manager for existing .vdi in virtual medien?

There are still 2 Theory 300.07 tasks running shown in Virtual media manager as vmi_image.vdi (2 separate) and 3 Theory 300.08 running shown under Theory_2023_12_12 (probably multiattach). All look otherwise normal (no yellow triangles in virtual media manager).
[edit]I put Theory on hold for now and re-enable it once those old ones have finished.

These all seem to fail with:
Command:
VBoxManage -q showhdinfo "C:\ProgramData\BOINC/projects/lhcathome.cern.ch_lhcathome/Theory_2023_12_13.vdi" 
Output:

[edit]On my other host they don't fail but all are stuck on Building rivetvm. Or maybe not stuck but takes more than 11 minutes without CPU activity.
[edit2] No CPU activity while building rivetvm but a lot of disk activity (reading). 4 tasks started at the same time, one has finished Building rivetvm but 3 still doing it. Old hdd shows max usage.
