Relocate a started WU

Post by ChristianVirtual »

I had to power cycle my secondary linux folding box and it didn't started anymore. The POST indicated memory issue; it might was heat.
But as a consequnece I have a CPU-A3 WU at around 50% which can't be finished on the same system anymore.
I can read the disk on a similar system (both Linux 64bit, same distribution). Can I copy the folder with the WU on the different system and restart/continue there ? Don't want to dump the WU ... :?

Thanks, but I have some follow up question(s):

Can I copy it into an existing working FAH system ? And how to assign the rescued WU to a slot ?

The name of the rescued folder is "01" ... After copying with the same permissions the CPU slot picked a new WU from the servers. Have to wait another 9 hours ... Gives time to check on more details of the process.

How can I make sure that the rescued WU get picked up next time the CPU slot is idle ?

I think you need to copy not only the complete work-folder (within client.db and client.db-journal) , but also the FAHControl.db and log.txt.

Which also means that you'll need to "Finish" any active WUs that are in queue. There is no reasonable way to merge two different queues ... you'll either have the WUs from one queue or you'll replace them with the WUs in the other queue. Each client knows exactly which WUs have been assigned to it.
