Possible stuck task

#1 Ungelesener Beitrag von BobCat13 » 18.12.2015 17:09

Running task 14950361 under Linux. At approximately 720 hours CPU time, the progress % reached 44.688. The CPU time is now almost 800 hours and the progress % is still 44.688.

I have done the stop/start client, as well as rebooting the machine, but no change in progress %. Checking the two files written in the Snapshot directory, the file sizes do not change, but their crc32 values do change. Are the crc32 values changing an indication that the task is still running and just hit a difficult part? Or is this task stuck and should be aborted? One user did finish their copy, but it took 2.73 times the estimate from the reference machine. I don't mind letting my copy run to see if it will advance eventually.

Thanks,
BobCat13

You should see some progress in the stderr.txt file. If not the task is really stuck.

Not sure what I should be seeing in that file. Here is a snippet of some entries this morning (there was a power outage from 08:30 until 10:10)

If you look at the content of the progress file it should change maybe it does not get shown by the Client? If the content does not change after an hour the task is stuck.

Sorry for the late response. I was on vacation and just saw your message now.

Hi Christian, I may be seeing the same problem. Task 6330703 (OS X) has reached 98.765% Very quickly (about 30 minutes after starting, I think), and has been stuck on that percentage for over 2 CPU days now.

Which is the progress file?
I see shared/progress.txt in the slot directory, but that's just text with the same percentage.

No that is normal. The percentage 98.765 was chosen deliberately for the case where we underestimated the time need to finish the task. You just need to let it run from now on. You can only look at the modification timestamp of the shared/progress.txt file.
