Project: 10001 (Run 86, Clone 4, Gen 22)
Posted: Wed Jan 13, 2010 8:16 pm
Returned to the computer and found that 41 minutes ago the CPU Console client had choked on project 10001 (Run 86, Clone 4, Gen 22) and was awaiting me to click OK on an error box with bad punctuation:
"Folding@home has run into a serious error running the core. and will shutdown."
Why that's rather sporting of it. However, my attention to the error wasn't necessary and it would have been more helpful to not kill the client and instead go download a different WU. Especially in light of the following:
Closed off error dialog box and restarted.
Closed off error dialog box and restarted.
Closed off error dialog box and restarted.
Closed off error dialog box and restarted. In infinitum.
Closed off error dialog box, deleted folder 08 and 08 locks.
Closed off error dialog box, deleted folder 09 and 09 locks.
Closed off error dialog box, deleted entire work folder.
Closed off error dialog box, deleted entire work folder.
Shutdown all clients and stopped all folding at home until further notice. This WU is filling one diaper after another.
P.S. If anyone is reading this post and has a hand in developing the client, I suggest that the user should be able to blacklist certain WUs. For example, open the client in -configonly mode and you can enter the following:
Blacklist (use comma): 10001 (Run 86, Clone 4, Gen 22)
This way you can manually reject projects that refuse to work on your computer and move on in a matter of minutes.
