There is no data back on this one yet.

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2010 10:59 am**

I thought p2682 had been replaced by p2892 which solved these issues ...

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2010 12:08 pm**

.

Doesn't seem to be, cause this was an Aug. 13 Project: 2682 (Run 1, Clone 26, Gen 21) WU ...

.

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2010 1:06 pm**

FYI

Currently running this WU on a dual xeon using win 7 pro. It's at 47% and due to finish mid morning(EST) Sunday. Will let you know if it finishes and uploads.

Did you do a fresh 6.30 install? Also if you are Vista, I had to go into the system and disable the MPICH service. Hope this helps.

.

At the moment, the same people that reported this (log copy) cannot get any new -bigadv Work Units for several machines.

The are very near to giving up on it all. The wasted energy costs are too great ...

From what my friends told me, they completely cleared out the Windows system (non-Vista) and installed 6.30
So, none of the above is the cause of this ...

Not sure if it has any bearing on the aforementioned failure of this WU but mine is taking ~3.17 gig of ram using -smp 15 and still running.

As to not being able to get a new WU have they tried going into the config and changing MachineID to a different number but still unique to that compuer?

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2010 2:03 pm**

I have a slightly off-topic question:

Since it is announced that P2682 WUs have been replaced by P2692 WUs, (link & link) are we allowed to delete the WU if it's P2682 and move on? Or do we continue to fold it?

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2010 4:46 pm**

I would think that it would be in the best interests of Folding to at least attempt to get through any project assigned.

It may not be the easiest or least intrinsic on our time/effort..... but if PG is assigning, they must still need it.... JIMO

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2010 5:21 pm**

My guess is it is a AS bug. Perhaps one of the mods could look and see if anybody has finished that particular WU.

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2010 5:23 pm**

I checked just now. Still nothing for Project: 2682 (Run 1, Clone 26, Gen 21).

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2010 5:27 pm**

Thanks sortofageek in that case I would say continue running it.

Posted: **Sun Aug 15, 2010 2:27 pm**

FYI

This WU completed successfully, uploaded and credit, including bonus, has been received. The system immediately download a new WU and is processing it now.

This doesn't explain why another volunteer had problems with the WU but does suggest that there's nothing wrong with it, at least not on the system here.

Were they using a 64-bit o/s? Do they have more than 4gig of ram?
