There were a number of bad workunits accidentally created around 13:00 - 14:00 UTC on 21 May. Examples: | |

We seem to have passed the bad batch, but I've got a fair few to deal with - and more will appear as people try to abort them, or in five days time when they timeout again. | |

I had like 10 of them in a row just hanging out and the system failed over the the backup project. I just nuked em all and it downloaded new work | |

Not sure how to uniquely identify the defective WUs. But I had dozens sitting in my Transfer list this morning with Project backoffs of 3 to 5 hours. Aborting them also required a reboot to get more WUs to DL and many of those failed to DL. For me GG is going idle. | |

I think it only needs a BOINC restart to clean them up, rather than a reboot - but I agree, it takes more than just a simple abort. | |

Can't the entire batch of bad pennies be extirpated from the server side??? | |

That's the other reason for posting in the server area - I was hoping Toni would notice and come up with a Cunning Plan. | |

Wait until GPUGrid is idle (all previous tasks reported)I'm not sure that the task generated by a "repaired" task would come using https, so we may do it 10 times. (I've aborted the transfer of these tasks, then restarted the BOINC manager, as it thinks that "some downloads are stalled". It refers to the ones I've aborted.) | |

I'm not sure that the task generated by a "repaired" task would come using https, so we may do it 10 times. It probably doesn't, but I'm less worried about that. It downloads, it computes, it returns results, and it validates - that's the object of the exercise. Check the examples I posted in the opening post - they won't be troubling us any more. But yours will be coming back, unless cancelled. | |

I tried to update the urls in the database so hopefully reissued results will have the correct url. thanks. | |

Also, for curiosity, the reason of the problem is that in some place the non-https gpugrid.org was used. Our certificate covered several domains but not that one. | |
