VM v 1.08 Progress indication any good?

Hi, I have a VM WU version 1.08 running since 440h ago.
Progress indicator showed normal behaviour until today.
Wu was due to finish by 15:00 today, acording to last night progress indicator and time remaining estimate. This morning time remaninig was still pointing to completion by 15:00. But it did not finish.
Since this afternoon the progress indication has frozen at 98.765% and time remaining is constant or very very slowly increasing. It has been showing approx 5:13 minutes to completion since this afternoon.

Is this normal?

Does this mean that VM work units behave just like XXL (non VM) WUs and that it can take as far as another 440 hours to complete or can I expect the WU to end sooner than that?

No criticism, just curious.

I have another 2 VM WUs running (versions 1.10) in other machines, and the progress indication is behaving normal from 0% to 31% in one case and to 21% in the other.

VM tasks behave exactly like XXL tasks because they are. They just run inside the VM. If the Time to finish is underestimated the progress is capped at 98,765% but the work is still done. It will finish when it finishes. Just like the XXL ones.

Many thanks. I´ll let it run.
I can add that these VM tasks (v 1.08 and especially v 1.10) are very resilient to shutdowns and even to unforeseen power failures.
Had several power failiures in one machine and each time the wu resumes normally.

I have alike problem (but for version 1.12). Progress indication of the task was frozen at 19,960% after near 750 hours of working. VM is running normally, snapshots is creating, remaining time is decreasing. Does it mean that work is going normally or not?

This should not happen. Could you try and restart your computer? Maybe a VM restart will help. If it is still stalled, please abort this task.

Task 14922446 has been running for over 3000 hours on one of my computers. The last ~1000 hours have been at 98.765%. Is this within the range of expected estimation error, or could something be wrong?
