I also have a long-running task that is decrementing Remaining by 1 second per 5 seconds elapsed, with 1007 hours estimated remaining. It is running on this computer . Do AMD CPUs have the hyperthreading and would decreasing it to 50% CPUs help speed this monster up? I'm still running BOINC 7.6.9 be...

I don't have VBox tools, so I deinstalled VBox and reinstalled from the BOINC with repair. Also set BOINC's interval to 900 seconds. If it was bleedover from BOINC causing the ultra-short checkpointing, that should take care of it. Thank you for the tip about I/O eating up so much time. I had though...

Does each VM set up its own checkpoint interval when it is created? (I don't have any now and don't see anything in VBox manager that would be a general setting for it.) First, I hope I didn't mess up some setting when I went in to fix the problem I had with multiple snapshots causing it to not run....

Username: Silverdrake User ID: 8407 Computer ID: 25167 Task: 14948503 Work Unit: 6330877 Yes, the VM had been in Vbox manager. I had to go in a few times to delete excess snapshots to get it running again. In case it's any help: Files in BOINC/Projects/rnaworld from the time of the crash (all are 1k...

I was running several programs at once and got a notice that VBoxHeadless had crashed. After I finished what I was doing, I shut down BOINC to check VBox and clean out any extra snapshots and get the WU back on track. Imagine my surprise when VBox came up empty and said that I hadn't created any VMs...

It's running! d(^.^)b

Let's hear it for brute-force ripping stuff out by the roots. >.<

"Whatever I need to do" involved going into the Virtual Media Manager, finding all the .vdi that errored and said "not attached" and manually deleting them from the hard drive, then sequentially deleting them from the Media Manager list. I'm now on the second-most recent snapshot that I had had. So,...

No, I can't. They are like nested folders, each newer snapshot being a "child" of the previous one. None that have a "child" can be deleted. From what it said when I tried what you suggested, I would have to start by deleting the newest snapshot to work my way back to the oldest (which is now 10 day...

The Manager has five snapshots. None of the older ones can be deleted, because each newer one is a "child" file of the previous snapshot.

After digging through several help pages to find out what "service install" means, I have determined that BOINC is not running as a service. So, to avoid accidentally erroring-out my WU as scalextrix did, the "Oracle VirtualBox Manager" you referred to would be the "Oracle VM VirtualBox" that instal...

For the past several days, mine has been saying, "Postponed: VM job unmanageable, restarting later."

Thank you, Christian. That task is now at the top of the deadline list and running high priority. I guess you guys will be getting the lion's share of my cycles until it completes.
