Hello,
I have strange error.

The task #63839471 was aborted by server after 6 hours running with error "finish file present too long".

Why?

Did your Windows 10 update? I hear there are some problems with the last update. I am seeing this on other forums. It's mostly machines with NVidia cards and you may need to reinstall or update you NVidia driver to fix.

This is BOINC error (bug/feature), not application nor "aborted by server"

Thank you, it's interesting.

So, I didn't restart computer at that moment. Something strange.
It seems that this error has happened several times before.

From your log:
"

...
07:03:39 (53416): called boinc_finish
"

At 07:03:39 the application created boinc_finish_called file and called boinc_finish() - "the last function it calls in application source code and that never returns back to app"
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=79721&postid=1792646#1792646
(Raistmer is the developer of OpenCL SETI@home applications)

For some reason BOINC didn't respond to the boinc_finish() and didn't see the file boinc_finish_called for 14 seconds (till 7:03:53)

App exited at 7:03:57 (18 seconds after calling boinc_finish() ) with "exit code 0" = No error
I feel this BOINC check/precaution from hanging apps is too aggressive.

I think the hard-coded timeout was (is?) 10 seconds (at which point BOINC decides to abort the task).


This delay of 14 seconds may be caused by:
- Antivirus scan (lock on the files in BOINC Data directory)
- High HDD activity (paging, defrag)
- Anything that appears to 'hang' the computer for some time

I think the hard-coded timeout was increased (to 60 seconds?) in some BOINC version but don't know which.
Richard Haselgrove or Ageless should know.

Thanks!

Yes, sometimes my computer is unresponsive, because multicore VMs or GPU BOINC tasks are running.
