18201 Upload repeating fails at 57.27% - (60 seconds)

Post by parkut »

I have a problem with project:18201 run:5707 clone:0 gen:5

Similar to Prior reported 18201 work unit failing to upload here: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=37456

Found a Linux system with a stuck work unit. On examination, it tried an upload
And it stalled out at 57.4% , and has retried over 80 times as of this writing. Each
Upload retry stalls out at the same 57.4% mark (it takes about 60 seconds).

I checked the WU status here: https://apps.foldingathome.org/wu#proje ... ne=0&gen=5
And returns "not found"

Code: Select all

I'm having a similar issue - also with a P18201 work unit. P 18201 R:43928, G:0, C:4
Only mine gets all the way to 92.06% before failing. And I'm at 53 attempts.
The work server is 128.252.203.11 and it rolls over to the collection server 128.252.203.13

I don't care too much about the points..... but if there are two of us reporting - it's likely more people are affected.

Size of the file it's trying to upload is 27.50MB (if that helps the diagnosis in any way)

Hi all,

Thanks for reporting this. I've taken a peek at the logs on the server side but unfortunately also don't see any information on the stuck WUs. I do see that each of you has returned other WUs from 18201 recently - if I may ask, were these completed on the same computers/internet connection/AV programs? I've also raised this to the folks above me and am hopeful we're able to get this figured out this time.

Thanks,
parkut

If I understood you to have directed the question to me, all from the same residential ISP account, all from
this one Ubuntu 18.04 Linux machine which has returned many without issue, and has returned more since the one got stuck.

Code: Select all

All of these ran to completion and uploaded with no trouble

Thanks parkut for the followup information.

This remains perplexing- the only thing that recently has changed on our end is that I reset the server a couple of days before the stuck WU was assigned (on the 17th) but I wouldn't expect any wrinkles from that several days later. Other WU returns are of similar packet size and there are a ton of WUs being returned (highlighted by both you and jchang6). I'm really stuck on what else may be behind WUs sporadically getting stuck.

Based on the previous post (viewtopic.php?f=18&t=37456) it seems unlikely that the WU will unstick and resetting the server doesn't seem to affect the sticking. I just issued a restart to the server, with the hope that things are different this time around?

I have at least seven systems Folding here from the same ISP. I did not notice if the one system that is having an issue with the uploads, has completed another P18201 since the troubles started... but I did spot a P18201 that system completed some weeks back.

My 'troubled' system is running Windows 7 Pro and has just Microsoft Security Essentials. And this system has completed other GPU work units since the P18201 got 'stuck'.

I was not expecting a 'fix' on your end. On the 23rd it will reach it's five day final deadline.. and get deleted.

Maybe this was just a blip that happened to a handful of work units assigned on the 17th/18th - and that's all.

Sometimes, a reboot of the modem and/or the router helps ...

Or a reboot of the FAH server :D

Thought I'd follow up here - because it looks like there might be a major problem with this project or this server.

I have a different system stuck. The work is still from P18201 but now it's R:54378 C:0 G:9
Sent to me on 10/30. Finished but failing to upload. Stopping at 62.06% this time.

But look at the status page for that work

Code: Select all

https://apps.foldingathome.org/wu#project=18201&run=54378&clone=0&gen=9
It only shows two assignments of that work - neither of them me. So not even a record of the failure. But also notice that it was first assigned on AUGUST 31 - and not completed till NOVEMBER 03.
That work unit has a FIVE day final expiration. Does that mean it was sent out EIGHTEEN times before it was completed?

Is nobody seeing this as a problem?

Hi Gary480six and thanks for the followup.

Regarding the status of this particular WU- it was assigned once on 8/31 and failed within 20 minutes of assignment (as seen on WU Status). The very next assignment of this WU was on 10/30 (to you). When it got stuck and hit the timeout (2 days) it became eligible for reassignment and was reassigned on 11/3. The record of your stuck WU should not hit WUstatus until it reaches the deadline (5 days), but is recorded on our private logs. The reason for the change in WU assignment timing is that we swapped the prioritization of WUs for this project around a little and are now currently prioritizing: runs>gens>clones in accordance with some timeline developments on our end.

WUs becoming stuck is a big concern. I don't like that we're sending WUs out and not able to retrieve them after people have donated their resources folding them. At the moment we cannot differentiate between a WU that was completed and the upload failed vs a WU that was assigned but then the person immediately turned off their computer, so these reports are vital in our efforts to fix this. I am continuing to try and troubleshoot what may be causing these issues- at one point we were concerned that WUs assigned/returning at the time of a server restart may be getting stuck, but this report rules that out as the WS for P18201 has been live for 13 days. I've raised this as an issue to the higher ups on my end.

Out of curiosity- do you have a max packet/upload size set?

Thanks,
Gary480six

Re: 18201 Upload repeating fails at 57.27% - (60 seconds)

Post by Gary480six »

JJ,

Thanks for the information. No - I don't have max packet/upload size set. Even though I have been Folding for years... I don't even know where that setting would be? Is that something in the Configure/Expert section?

You said that the original release of this work unit failed and was returned after only 20 minutes. Does that follow any pattern with the other work that is getting 'stuck'? (a quick failure followed by issues later)

The i7-4770 with it's GTX 1070 that has this specific stuck work, just finished and returned a different P18201. So the hardware, network etc do not have an issue with this work or those servers. This is one quirky issue. :-)

Max-packet used to be a setting that could be used for folks working on dial-up modems but I don't think it is widely used any more (and may not be supported?).
Technically, it's still supported but it has been adjusted in a recent client update -- perhaps because it was causing too many WUs to be reassigned...perhaps not.

It CAN be set by the donor and used by the project owner ... but it's not widely used.
