You don't happen to have those bad tags in your 4.27 app_info.xml file do you by any chance?

No, I suspended all WUs, switched to "no network" and allowed the 64Bit app just 2 of them, so the remaining are still branded for 4.27. I installed the original app_info.xml and even modified it to direct any 4.28 WU(which I don't have) to 4.27. :-(
I had made a backup of my BOINC folder, so the last I can do is to restore the folder when all WUs are finished, kill the WUs of the backup und hope for new work.
But I would rather understand what is going on!

Michael

I never really got this WU, but it's already over with no reply!?

There must be a bad daemon around here...

ok, I know the reason why. ;-)

Is it possible that the server cancelled the task before the client had begun crunching it because the original wingman finally did submit something after all?

I don't believe it! That was the reason!
I'm a bit tired, so I first didn't understand what you meant. :(
Should have taken the files from the backup instead from the package.

Thanks,

YES! :-)
Still a feature of the server I didn't know.

I had the same after downgrading to 4.21 with these WU1 and WU2. Both WU's was crunched completly within 12hours but i forget to report them and both units gone to /dev/null.
But no problem, Einstein resent both tasks and i could crunch again in 10hours... Not bad for an E6320 ;-)

I'm sorry, I was a bit lazy and didn't go search out the actual messages when the bad tag problem first came up. I should have at least put the full problem line

windows_intelx86 into my reply as that might have been more of a prompt to you. The word "windows" as part of a platform description in a Linux app_info file, well .... :).

I'm glad you sorted it out :).

Cheers,
Gary.

The outcome (ie tasks being resent) might have been similar but the cause (ie what caused your work to be thrown away) would have been rather different since there were no bad tags before version 4.27.

In your case, I'm guessing that when you reverted to 4.21, you didn't add an entry to your app_info.xml for 4.21 which allowed any later versions than 4.21 to be crunched by that earlier version. Even if you don't appear to have later version work in your cache it's still a good idea to just put in a couple of lines which says that it's OK for 4.xx work to be crunched by 4.21 and that would have allowed your 'ready to report' tasks to have been reported and not discarded.

When you think about it, downgrading can be quite tricky.

You seem to have been downgrading from 4.28 where you had that quite slow result. I notice that you were using 4.27 immediately before the 4.28 result. Any particular reason for going back to 4.21 rather than 4.27?

Cheers,
Gary.

Yes i forgot to write something in the app_info.xml but no problem work was resent from einstein-server.
4.27/4.28 are only for testing my linux-distro to be compatible with it and the possebility to crunch in 64bit-mode.
4.21 had in my configuration with socks5-proxy no further problems with lost network-access and runs like hell, too.
