10 million steps? What should I do?

[scm2000]

I've got a work unit running in the 13821 project that has 10 million steps.
I'm 4 percent the way through it.. and that seems to have taken all day so far.. so it will not finish in time.

Should I kill the work unit? Will that effect my standing, and how, on a Mac do you go about killing a work unit?

It will be a malformed WU … Can you post a log showing the start of the WU - That will let a report be put into the team … Once that's up someone will give details of the best way to dump/delete the WU … viewtopic.php?f=24&t=26036

I rebooted so I don't have the log from the beginning but here is the relavant section:

Yes, dump the WU, I have reported it and it should get removed from distribution.

Since you are on OS X, I can just copy and past directions I gave earlier today to another person who got one of these oversized WUs:

To dump WU, first pause folding. Since you are on OS X, go to the folder /Library/Application Support/FAHClient/. Inside that folder open the folder named 'work', and move the folder named '00' to the trash. You may be prompted for an admin password, I forget which files in this folder are protected by being owned by a different user. Then you can start up the client, it will do cleanup after detecting the work files are gone. Then it should request a new WU.

the only thing in application support is: FAHControl.db

ok all set.. it's back running a normal work unit again.
